The Willowz are back with their fourth release, titled Chautauqua, this time on Dim Mak Records. For those of you not familiar with the band, their sound is a boisterous mix of some throw-back sounds like Led Zeppelin, some more modern flavors such as The White Stripes (and even more-so The Raconteurs), some stylistic eccentricities of Primus or Modest Mouse, and the southern rock twang of [fill in the name of your favorite twangy southern rock band here]. Although the voice of Richie James Follin, the lead vocalist, falls a little short on the slow song Once In A While, it can also soar like Robert Plant's at points and then twist and turn in the next moment when given something to rock with. If you're up for a good old-fashioned (modernized) 60's rock revival, look no further than The Willowz.
