Woosley Band

…Roots Rock with a major in English lit and a minor in smart, biting comedy (Brian Baker) .

. . "Given our proximity to Dayton, Ohio, Columbus has more than its share of Guided By Voices fans. Indie icon and prolific songwriter Robert Pollard mothballed his famous Dayton band at the end of 2004, leaving a hole in the hearts of many thirtysomething indie-rock fans.



Believe it or not, that torch may have been picked up by our own Woosley Band, if Follow Fire Exit Signs is any indication.



Naysayers can check out the first 10 seconds of "The Clark Grave Vault" if you need further proof. It's all there: the lone distorted and warmly melodic guitar line; the up-front vocals intoning abstract, heartfelt lyrics; and the vague, nagging notion that the song may explode into "Game of Pricks" at any seconnd.

Woosley has a murky, cluttered vision.lyrics of resignation, confusion and occasional terrifying bouts of menace peep through a wall of sound that can be surprisingly beautiful.Woosley has a thing for obscurity in his lyrics---not the sort of nonsense you get from Duran Duran lyrics, but just lyrics that make you wonder what's going on in that head of his.the sort of obscurity that's fun to play with.
