Local indie/noise band Real Wow is celebrating the release of its album, Hello, I Hope This Finds You Well. The album, which will be available digitally on Bandcamp and on limited edition hand-stamped CDs, features six tracks of driving, angular riffs and seasoned vocals from Kemp Stroble. Though the band has been playing together since 2023, this marks its debut studio release. Real Wow is one of Stroble’s most recent projects, joined by Mat Lewis on drums, Kris Deason on guitar and Charlie Estes on bass. His other musical exploits include Hot Fudge, Yallweh and the currently active Weaponized Flesh, of which Deason is also a member. Joining Real Wow for this album release show is Durham, NC-based post-punk band Blab School and local post-rock band Father Werewolf.
