Higher Than the sun

Higher Than The Sun

“Tom Boonen” starts off a bit like “My Sharona” before changing into a bluesy groove that’s fun and peppered with hooks throughout the listen. It’s an ode to a champion in a dark celebratory kind of way. “Tom Boonen” is painted like a superhero sonically in this. For fans of Queens of the Stone Age, check out “Tom Boonen” by Maxwell Watts.

Time goes by

Time Goes By

Maxwell Watts is a band based in Manchester-U.K. The band met whilst studying music at Salford University.
Colin is a singer-songwriter and saxophone player originally from Belgium. He first met Phil the Lead Guitarist (originally from Wales). 
When they met, Colin was straight away blown away by his unique talent and creative power force at playing catchy hooks and licks for the songs. Josh, the Drummer, had been playing along with Phil for Uni Projects and naturally joined the Maxwell Watts Band with Phil.
Josh has a great sense of groove that lifts up the energy of the band to another level when he jams with Alex on bass, who joined the band later on for the recording of new singles for the 3rd Album.
At this stage, MW is releasing new self-Produced singles for a 3rd Album and plan to perform live again soon...  
The style of music they play is a blend of Alternative-Rock with some Reggae-Dub and Rap/Funk Rock influences.
