Wammo is an album by New Zealand band Bailter Space, released in 1995.[3][4] Matador will reissue the album on vinyl for its 25th anniversary.[5]

Critical reception

Andrew Earles, in Gimme Indie Rock: 500 Essential American Underground Rock Albums 1981-1996, wrote that "Bailter Space's final album for Matador (fifth overall) finds the band showing everyone how skilled it was at erasing any lines of demarcation separating wickedly catchy pop songs and washes of guitar noise and toothy dynamics."[6] Dave Thompson, in Alternative Rock, called it "their most conventional hook-laden missive yet."[7]
