Wide is a full-on Electric Rock unit, invading your living room under the command of Lt. Col. M.F. One, who flails funkily and wields his weapon with great panache. Sgt. Smokey Anderson and his bass-slinging sidekick Brig. Gen. Buckets flank Col. One (an interesting strategic arrangement, to be sure), hurling rhythmic grenades in the general direction of the enemy — namely, you. But don’t take it personally. They’re just doing their job. You do yours and buy into their “Hidden Agenda” at once; you won’t be disappointed. Bombs away!
BR>Wide - The Perfect Gift (split with Stew)
After way too much time, this split release by Lincoln's Wide and Kearney's Stew finally makes it to store shelves. Unfortunately, this is Stew's last release, ever, however, luckily, this is Wide's first release. This is the coolest damned album since...ANYTHING ! ! !

-ismist Recordings was a Lincoln, Nebraska-based independent record label founded in 1992 by Dan Schlissel. Over the 1990s, -ismist released nearly 80 albums and singles by bands including Killdozer, Season to Risk, and House of Large Sizes. It is most widely known for comedy albums by Lewis Black and Doug Stanhope, as well as Iowa metal band Slipknot's 1996 debut/demo, Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat. By the early 2000s, after Slipknot had moved on to major label Roadrunner Records and Schlissel had found greater success with comedians like Black and Stanhope than with indie rock, he changed his focus to comedy albums on a new, Minneapolis-based label, Stand Up! Records, which eventually replaced -ismist entirely.
