The band features Wille Edwards on lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitars, electric lap steel, dobro, Matt Brooks on bass and backing vocals, Andrew Naumann on drums, percussion and backing vocals. A classic blues-rock three-piece who are perfectly pushing the boundaries of the genre. “the most refreshing sound heard in ages” – Classic Rock Magazine
“One Way’ Features Wille’s bottleneck guitar and Andy’s thundering drums to create a driving anthem that gets your feet moving and headbanging. The theme in the verses is to highlight many western countries’ questionable foreign policies and propaganda. In the chorus, various leaders are named who have stood for peace as the “One Way.”
“One Way” is sure to make an immediate impact on lovers of Rock n’ Roll. Filled with harder leaning rock, blues, and total passion. Wille’s bottleneck guitar playing will draw the listener in, but this three-piece is layered with stellar musicianship all around. Meanwhile, the in your face lyrics that take on the propaganda of many current governments is thought-provoking and could not be timelier” Subba-Cultcha
The trio manages to encompass musical diversity and adopts the musical essence, nostalgia, and discovery of the late ’60s and ’70s as they mix Rock n’ Roll with a more modern approach. “I feel that we have finally managed to capture the various soundscapes and unusual instrumentation of our sound in the studio without losing the raw, live energy of WATB” – Wille Edwards
The group was deemed one of the Top Ten bands to see live at Glastonbury Festival by BBC Radio and have toured with Deep Purple, Status Quo, Joe Bonamassa, the John Butler Trio, and Warren Haynes to name a few.
They threesome are beginning to make waves around the globe thanks to their distinctive, organic vibe and rock ‘n’ roll gusto.
