Watts is the real deal! Watts' music has been described -- accurately -- in the media as "intense power pop songs that harken back to the glam of the early 70s, pop of the 60s, and punk of the late 70s." Bouyant, alive, and driving with Beatle-esque energy thru-out! Here's the blurb from the band's MySpace page: Watts "make a superb retro rock ‘n’ roll racket," says Rob Forbes (Leicester Bangs). A dynamic four-piece aptly named for the gentleman drummer of the Rolling Stones, Watts' sound combines all the best elements of '70s glam, old school punk, new wave, British Invasion and straight up rock-n-roll to create a timeless amalgam that is at once familiar and fresh. The band was recently named one of 2008's "Bands You Must Hear" by the UK's Classic Rock magazine, and their latest record, "One Below The All Time Low," has been receiving raves from critics worldwide since its release in September 2007.]]> http://www.myspace.com/wattsrock Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Watts/16866253871?ref=nf CDBaby: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/watts Here's the review I published in Raging Smolder Music many moons ago: With earnest vocals and strong gutsy melodies, Watts' straightforward rock-n-roll (self-described as "retro-modern rock-n-roll stew" and "the finest in retro-modern punk-pop-n-roll") grabs the listener in the general region of the heart and presents a collection of finely crafted highly compelling and, at times, deeply moving, pop tunes.
