Release Notes:
--------
Watts is a musical four piece hailing from Boston. Aptly named for the gentleman
drummer of the Rolling Stones, Charlie Watts, the band's sound combines all the
best elements of 70s glam, old school punk, new wave, British Invasion and straight
up rock-n-roll to create a timeless amalgam that is at once familiar and fresh.
Bandmates Dan Kopko (lead vocals/guitar), John Blout (guitar) and Craig LaPointe
(bass) have been cohorts in various bands in and around the Boston scene since
their late teens, having achieved success in their early days under the rock
stewardship of famed manager Dee Anthony (Peter Frampton, J. Geils). After stints
in various local outfits, the three paired up with drummer and old pal John Lynch
(the Neighborhoods, ex-Avoid One Thing) for a well-received one-off performance at
a party in September 2005. Having tasted such sweet adulation, the four have since
refused all requests to disband.
Two years later, almost to the day, "One Below the All Time Low," is released.
Recorded with engineer Doug Batchelder (Piebald) and in KopkoÆs home studio (dubbed
The Linwood Underground), "One Below the All Time Low" pops with Cars shine, Stones
riffs and punk-n-tumble vocals along the lines of Mike Ness of Social Distortion and
Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler.
In the (unsolicited) words of one local rock aficionado, "One Below the All Time Low
is an adrenalized full throttle high; chock full of rock, punk, bubble gum and playing
air guitar in front of the mirror, yes this CD rocks my f'n lame ass!!!!"
