Wife Patrol’s Orange EP Named "Best Local Release" by The Ryder Magazine

Wife Patrol’s Orange EP was included in The Ryder Magazine’s year-end wrap up for Best Local Releases of 2018. The Ryder is published in Bloomington, Indiana.

This mini release from Indianapolis band Wife Patrol has three feel-good pop rock songs. Each song has a unique style emphasized by the small things that they add to their songs like bells saxophone, and Nicole and Greg's vocal harmonies. Switching between 70s punk, 80s pop, and 90s grunge, there is something for everyone. My favorite song on this release is H.A. because it sums up my year rather well. The EP was produced and mastered by Paul Mahern at White Arc.
