Don't let the The Willowz inverted indie exterior fool you. Within this unit beats the heart of a rock monolith straining to break out as far and as wide as it can. Their melding of aprés Pixies noise with a Redd Kross pop sensibility could be just the right chemical imbalance to take 'em over the top. It seems they've managed to infiltrate a good deal of the places that would give them pole position. Putting out this "Talkincircles" set on Sympathy indicates a suss of their situation. Taking time to take stock of their next move in terms of world domination. Their sound harbours a determination which suggests that their idea of success is a broader canvas than just having a couple of flash in the pan hits.
"Blind Story" is a strange quasi-folk tale and it sits well beside the thrashlike "We Live On Your Street" which features Keith Morris of The Circle Jerks. I don't think that anybody is gonna put the wind up these Willowz, they could be very big indeed - whatever that means these days. They have many more strings to their bow than something like The Str*kes. That's fer damn sure...

WOT? Chief, something must be wrong with your ears. I saw the Willoz at their first step to euroland as we where in Augsburg doing that big Ramones exhibition/thing whatsoever and they sucked big time. Plus, I still thing they suck big time. If it wouldn't be so that their guitarist is Paul Kostabi's son and his connection with paintings and Dee Dee Ramone, I would have killed 'em. I still believe I better had done.
Anyway, all the best from Switzerland where I'm working right now and THIS LAND is the most sucking place....
PEACE!! agent hg
OK, I'll get the ol' cotton buds out but maybe they just got "it" together between then and now? My lugs are anything but infallible...
