PRAISE FOR AMERICAN WRESTLERS
“These are unabashedly personal and reflective songs, often filled with regret and loss, ugliness and shame.” – Pitchfork
“You can hear the bona fides of a skilled singer-songwriter. McClure’s cool charm makes these homespun songs feel like long-lost guitar-pop gems, newly discovered and barely dusted off.” – Rolling Stone
“For Goodbye Terrible Youth, the group’s amped-up follow-up, frontman and songwriter Gary McClure has doubled down on spectral keyboards and fuzz-muscled riffs—pretty much always a good idea… Equal parts diffuse and direct, Youth ages nicely with each listen.” – Wired
“This is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard in 2016.” – USA Today, on “Amazing Grace”
“Even though he’s Scottish, Gary McClure’s new LP Goodbye Terrible Youth is the jangly guitar record this country needs right now.” – Noisey
“Scottish expat Gary McClure sings with a fragile-but-hopeful tenor like a beam of light from a discount flashlight, and as American Wrestlers, he’s stumbled upon a scrappy underdog lo-fi sound that lets his songs shine properly.” – Stereogum (Band to Watch; 50 Best New Bands of 2015)
“American Wrestlers have the potential to win over legions of fans based on their broad musical range. Goodbye Terrible Youth is music for tiny, sweaty clubs, with amps turned up loud and a knack for sophisticated tunes at the ready.” – PopMatters
