Dave Ramm is the drummer and Matt Nyce plays bass.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIndeed, wimps’ City Lights may well stand as an artifact of humanity in a time of increasingly glossed and flawed expression. An imperfect, live, energetic, human statement made by 3 imperfect, mostly alive, yet rapidly deteriorating early 40s bit players of various Seattle whos and whats of a time long ago and soon to be forgotten. City Lights is a collection of solid classic wimps bops from stop to finish.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklist: City Lights , Animal , Fits , Mindreader , Lake Washington , Big Dipper , Never Leave the House , Rutt , Doing It , Gravity , Mom , Lonely , Morning\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"City Lights\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5jjZHLtiPdY\" height=\"369\" width=\"829\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5jjZHLtiPdY\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Youth Riot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42672859971740,"sku":"YRR064LPBLUE","price":39.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/YRR064LP.jpg?v=1695937420","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/wimps-city-lights-blue-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
