will haven - el diablo

label: crisis records/revelation records
released: 1997

a friend of mine once posed the question "why are will haven so awesome?".
and my answer was "because EL DIABLO. that's why.".

my first exposure to this band was via some random sampler cd that came with some random magazine i'd just decided to randomly pick up. i'm pretty sure it was because of the sampler cd. it was the song "stick up kid". i was sold. and it just so happened that the music store i'd always go into at the mall had a few copies of it. and that store was disc jockey if'n you're curious. malls used to be a fun place to hang out. disc jockey. musicland. waldenbooks. spencers. that santa guy. hot chicks named kelly.

but i digress.....

if you've ever found yourself listening to anything off of the first 2 deftones albums and thought "yeah. this is pretty good." or you like a little unsane or early neurosis or vision of disorder or....

you're sold?
already?
i was totally prepared to mention the band the abominable iron sloth.
hmmmmmmmmm.
well now that it's been brought up....
they share members with will haven.
current guitarist jeff irwin.
current drummer mitch wheeler.
so if you enjoy yourself some of that as well you're in for a treat,kid.
