SADSACK by Wasted Champs

y'all probably know this but wasted champs has been a dead project for about a year now. i got very tired of writing these really sad, vulnerable songs and i got tired of doing shows. i look back on these albums and ep's with embarrassment but keep them on here because regardless they are mine and idk maybe people like these things i'm slightly ashamed of. after releasing an ep called Six Love Songs (one of the few projects i actually really like), i immediately got to work on an album called SADSACK. i planned for it to be both a follow-up to LOSER (another project i'm proud of) and a send-off for wc, which i never intended to continue after i graduated college. eventually i got a new laptop and lost the files to the songs, and accepted that this album was abandoned. i always felt weird for ending wc so suddenly, but decided to move on anyways.

then i came back on this bandcamp page after years of radio silence and realized that 7 of the 10 planned songs were saved in my drafts and ready to be released. i asked some friends if they'd like to hear it and they said yes. and now here we are.

one of these songs was previously released about three years ago. another is the original, non-acoustic version of a song from Six Love Songs. three others were songs i only played live but never said the names of. one is a cover of my favorite yowler song. one is a song i played live on a radio show once and then never played for anyone ever again. i'm glad these songs exist. i'm glad wc exists. thanks for caring about it during the four years of its existence. if i make anymore music in the future it will be under a different name, so always keep your eyes and ears peeled for whenever that happens.

now and forever, fuck wasted champs.
