4.0 out of 5 stars A great debut., July 18, 2004

If you're sick of the kind of rock music where a bunch of nit wits from San Diego whine about how the girl they like likes someone else, then slap down the dough for WSC. This album is fun without being cheesy, political without being preachy, humorous without being comedy, and extraordinarily well crafted without being prog rock. This band has style and grace. They've got personality and charm. And they make you want to dance. This is the kind of album that you'll sing loudly along with in the car or dance around like a maniac in your living room. And that's what rock 'n' roll is all about. My 2 pence.

Just saw these guys live last night when they opened for Louis XIV and Hot Hot Heat. I hadn't heard of them and I really wasn't breaking my neck to get to the club early enough to catch their set because I rarely find the opening act to be as good as the headliner. Well I did end up making it to the show in time to catch their performance and boy was I surprised! They actually sounded good! Now don't get me wrong. This is not the most incredible band I've ever heard.

They sound kind of like Hot Hot Heat, but without the keyboard and effects. Nothing to special or unique. But what they do, they do it well. They are very energetic and their songs are irresistably catchy. Dancing Song, Charlie The Russian, and Modern Trance were a few of the stand outs for me, but there really weren't any songs that they played that I absolutely didn't like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good band, pretty good cd, October 13, 2004

WSC has a pretty good base here in DC. Opening for groups at the 9:30 Club and taking the stage at the Black Cat, they've continued to increase their exposure- which eventually led me to them. I was happy when they put out the cd, because while I tend to enjoy less well-known bands, I dont want them to remain obscure for my benefit.

The group is pretty damn good. So's their cd. In addition to their music, they've got a pretty funny vibe, as they poke fun in their songs and at their concerts. I'd suggest you put up the money for the cd, even if you're just curious about them.

Oh, and the 5 stars is just cause they're from DC and I've seen them a ton of times. The cd is probably really a 4..
