This Release showcases the musical firepower of the Band! As a follow up to the much praised "From the Pieces on the Ground", this new album, "Willowgrove" will take you on a new journey with the band members as they explore different genres. From the powerhouse title track, dealing with Loss, World events and Hope, to the Funky Blues styles of "On My Back".
All songs were written and sung by Ruben J Murrieta, including "The Two of Us", which promises to be a fan favorite. On the subject of Guitars, Guitars and more Guitars, Mark Myers shines throughout showing why Ruben dubbed him the Band's "Secret Weapon". Listening to the new album, one cannot mistake the great musical melodies of the lower end, brought forth by powerhouse Bass Man, Bill Giles. And the Beat? Former Smashmouth percussionist, Mark Cervantes delivers intricate and exciting new drumming to the songs.
The new album was recorded in Orange County, CA at Audio Picaso Studios and produced by Lee Labellarte and Ruben J Murrieta.
