Describing music is hard enough at the best of times, let alone when I’m put up to the task for a band like Willows.
Filing them under the catch-all sub-genres of “post-rock”, “post-hardcore” or “post-metal” seems inadequate, even though their music displays elements of all the above – quiet, clean delayed bits like Explosions in the Sky, sludgy power chords like Neurosis and ISIS and the atmospherics of A Perfect Circle.
Well, I tried my best. Just click the little triangle up there, or cosy up to them at the next gig they play. Watch out for flying guitar headstocks.


this song is on the ‘Stranded’ Brisbane music compilation released last year.
