biographical info
Intelligent riffery. Primal, yet unpredictable. Heavy. Very Heavy. Brontosaurus Heavy. Fiftywatthead are perhaps the loudest band in Southern Ontario, if not the province, if not the country, if not...Guitarist Ben Guthrie, drummer Kevin Patrick and bassist Bill Butt round out a power quartet that places as much emphasis on sonic exploration, as they do on catharitic, suspense-and-release rhythm tactics. These tight arrangements are capitulated by J.Drummond's desperate, uncalculated vocals, unconfined to the traditional verse-chorus-verse trappings thanks to a band that began it's life as an istrumental outing. Dirge like riffs, punctuated with schizophrenic arrangements make fiftywatthead an intriguing listen, and an essential live show for fans of rawk with a head on its shoulders.
