The Makin Waves Song of the Week is “ICE SS“ by the Central Jersey punk act Sally Draper.
Central Jersey punks Sally Draper have returned, angrier and more anxious than ever.
Their latest single, the politically and personally venomous “ICE SS” is the Makin Waves Song of the Week.
As the Makin Waves Song of the Week, “ICE SS“ also can be heard between 6 and 8 p.m. on May 15 on “Radio Jersey” at ThePenguinRocks.com. If you miss it, you can tune in any time in the archives at The Penguin, Mixcloud and RadioJersey.net.
In under two minutes, “ICE SS” bites into the United SS of America’s state-sponsored domestic terrorists, before eventually turning inwards, acknowledging how we easily bite our tongues to save face and how we may very well “bite our tongues until we choke on it.”
The furious single was recorded in February at the Fruit Cellar Headquarters in Edison and Dot’s House in Hamilton by Bob Osowski, who also mixed and is one half of Sally Draper on guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Joining him is longtime band mate Ryan O’Leary on guitar and vocals.
“ICE SS” was mastered by Nick Bolton at Bolton Sound And features original artwork by New Jersey illustrator CJ Ruiz.
“ICE SS” is preceded by several EPs, three LPs, countless basement shows and national tours.
The blistering anti-Trump track also is preceded by the "Bigly Benefit" shows the band hosted. All proceeds from the charity concert series went to organizations endangered by the Trump administration.
Sally Draper also helped turn the fascist tide by appearing on the “Rock Against Hate” compilation alongside Garry Tallent and Max Weinberg of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band.
Sally Draper takes the band name from the rebellious teenage daughter of Don Draper on AMC’s “Mad Men.”
Bob and Ryan plan on playing several shows this year to celebrate their band’s 10th anniversary. In the meantime, enjoy “ICE SS” on Apple Music and Spotify.
