Brews Willis - Great Energy



1. Altered Beast
2. Sweaty Hands
3. Sneer
4. I Wanna Go South
5. Great Energy


Brews Willis have released their second album titled "Great Energy." This album continues the style and sound that the band brought to them on their debut. These guys have a similar sound to that of The Beach Boys if they were going for an indie sound. It is a bit of a different sound so just check it out if you like indie music. They have done a pretty good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the band has recorded this to a pretty decent sound. The instrumentation on the album is nothing to wow you, just nice indie music. Now onto the vocals and the lyrics, the vocals on this album have a big of a quite background, being screamed from a bit away feel to them. Hopefully not doing that style will help with the next album. He can sing though and you can tell what he is saying. With the lyrics they have a bit off a different way with them. These guys kind of go around using unique word and putting them together on more of a Frank Zappa way. Still they do a good job on the lyrics. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of it. Brews Willis have made a second album that solidifies their sound and what they want to be. They have also added to their live setlist and given people more songs. Not a bad job here. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Brews Willis have released their debut full length album titled "Nerped By A Zircon." We have no idea what the title of this album means, but it sounds interesting. The band has a surf sort of sound combined with indie rock which makes it sound like a little more sloppy California beach band. When looking at the quality of the recording for this album, the band has done an okay job with the recording, but they are trying to make it sound a little rougher for the sound they are going with and the instrumentation sounds a little better then average so thats a plus. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals, specially the ones in the background are in need of a little work as the background sound too far in the back but the lyrics seem to be pretty good here. if you are looking for a single for this album, try the song "Ride The Island baby" as it shows off the duel style of the surf and indie together well as well as gives you an idea of how the album sounds. Brews Willis have something here that could work with the duel genres. as long as they progress and get those backgrounds cleaned up a bit, then this could really work. Give Brews Willis credit here for the meld. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
