It's hard to say if Cincinnati four-piece Wussy are hyped or not. On the one hand, you have heavyweight American rock critic Robert Christgau comparing them to the Beatles and the Stones, and saying they're the best American band of the last decade. On the other, they've barely journeyed beyond cult status in the US, and over here none of their five records has even seen an official release. Buckeye sets out to mend that last fact – it's a 17-track compilation that shows the band's progression from earnest, fuzzy college rock to … more earnest, fuzzy college rock. Early REM, Yo La Tengo and the Hold Steady are good reference points here, but that's not to say Wussy entirely lack originality – the dual vocals of former couple Chuck Cleaver and Lisa Walker (aged 52 and 34 respectively) find a novel way to attack subjects as tried and tested as flings and break-ups. This is what makes Wussy devotees fall hopelessly in love with them – the rather unfashionable backing probably accounts for the wider world not caring less.
