WOWii - s/t LP

Highly recommended.

This album includes never-before-released recordings by an American band whose three original singles are long-forgotten collector’s items. The lead singer has a powerful voice, a kind of stentorian voice not quite usual in the style of music played by his band, namely a blend of power pop and glam rock, but I sure am impressed by the vocals on this record. The track we've highlighted reminds of the Jim Carroll Band. As for the music, it is remarkably well played and richly produced, Overall, these archival recordings are very interesting 1970s period pieces from one of the most trusted labels going round, Reminder.

The Miami to New York connection: WOWII! Familiar to most collectors for their trio of fab, self-released singles, WOWII FINALLY get the coming-out-party they so rightfully deserve with an unreleased, full-length LP recorded back during the band’s original heyday. Every bit as essential for fans of the late glitter and glam-to-punk rock transitional styles as MILK ‘N’ COOKIES, THE MARBLES or THE BRATS, these never-before-heard recordings by WOWII should delight and excite both the initiated and the novice alike!
