History
Wreck and Reference (sometimes stylized as Wreck & Reference or W&R) started out as a garage project in Davis, California, in 2008. In 2012, the band released an LP, Y̶o̶u̶t̶h (pronounced "No Youth") and in 2013, released an EP, C̶o̶n̶t̶e̶n̶t (pronounced "No Content"). Later in 2014, their second full-length album Want was featured on "The Best Metal Albums of 2014" list by Pitchfork.
