Wreck and Reference is an experimental rock group based in Los Angeles, California.
Wreck and Reference (sometimes stylized as Wreck & Reference or W&R) started out as a garage project in Davis, California, in 2008.[1] In 2012, the band released an LP, Y̶o̶u̶t̶h (pronounced "No Youth") and in 2013, released an EP, C̶o̶n̶t̶e̶n̶t (pronounced "No Content").[2] Later in 2014, their second full-length album Want was featured on "The Best Metal Albums of 2014" list by Pitchfork.[3][4] Want was followed by a 75-track, online-only release of the samples used to create the electronic instrumentals on the record.[5]
