about
The TCR , Taylor C. Russell, aka "Wavepunk" is a retrosynth/synthwave artist/producer on Rain Dragon Records . He is part of the 'new wave punk' movement. His sound is described as "inventive and bold" and influenced by a mix of new wave, punk rock, pop and electronica. His first full length LP, Wrath To Ruin , was released January 15, 2015 to well received reviews, declaring him a bold new voice in a somewhat derivative scene, called by some as the "Icarus of Synth." "TCR shows great promise in a scene that is about to reach its own golden age free from clichéd sounds and concepts. Wrath to Ruin is an ambitious and bold statement in a sea of meta music and irony that is warm, sincere, and un-ironically tries new things without apology." - Ken Synthrock June 2015, The TCR released "Strangewave" on Karate King Records - a 35-track LP covering 5 months of material. Following Strangewave, The TCR released The Vern Purple ep - a gritty, dark, gothy punk rock album displaying his ability to write mudic and lyrics-singing on most of the tracks. Additionally to his solo work, The TCR has created multiple tracks for The Outrunners comic, and has collaborated on multiple projects with artists like Oceandide 85, Stilz, The Neon Droid and The Dust Collective. The TCR finished his time with Karate King by releasing Highschool Holocaust 1 and 2 - a secret 80s slasher compilation featuring some of the most well known synthwave acts around. Next up The TCR released Machete Beach -
