Wussy, set to release its newest (a self-titled effort) for locally-based Shake It Records, shows a natural progression and tightness that has resulted in its best album yet. The album is a culmination of everything the band does well — eccentric but grippingly clever wordplay, crafty vocal interplay and dirty, buzzing Pop songs that bubble with soulful energy and heart-baring emotions.

The brilliant Wussy will get “CD release partied” Friday at Northside Tavern. The free 10 p.m. show also features Louisville’s The Fervor.

Wussy — which heads to Cleveland for a release show Saturday — will also do an in-performance at Shake It in Northside Friday at 7 p.m. The album (the third full-length for the band) will be released nationally on April 20. Friday’s show will also mark the band’s first with new drummer Joe Klug, formerly of Staggering Statistics (which also featured John Curley, producer of the new disc).
