I first found out about Wilt when i went to see 'Reef' play on tour and they were one of the support bands. I was quite amazed at how good they were for a support band and at the quality of their live performance. The lyrics are sung very well, and the singer is a refreshingly modest guy. I think that the best way to describe their style is a mix between 'Foo Fighters' and 'Greenday's' most modern songs on the album 'Warning'. All of this inspired me to buy their album which is very good from beginning to end. The only thing that gives them away on this debut album is the lack of variation and some of the simplicity of their songs. However, this is not a bad thing because they seem to have found a good balance.
Overall, i hope you will try out this album and trust my jugement, because it would be a shame for such a promising new band to just disappear. They may not be quite as good as Foo Fighters yet . . . but i'm sure they will be. The lyrics are good and well sung; there may not be enough guitar riffs but what they do works well; and it's a highly enjoyable album. It is also possible now to buy a 'Limited Edition 2CD Set' which includes five more songs. This is not special, but well worth it!
Happy (happy) listening!
