| Description: | The Wells:
The Wells were formed in 1998 in Montreal after a long history of friendship between the three members Chris, Rick and Naze. They were determined to work independently and to write and perform music on their own terms. They wanted to get back to the roots of Rock’n’Roll and rock out in the pubs. In March 2000 The Wells released their debut CD “where Anything Goes”. That summer they went on tour of the Maritime Provinces with the help of Kevin Gault who had co-engineered the CD.
The Wells songwritting draws from a number of influences. They strive to create music that has a natural vibe. They are able to break free from the traditional limitations of what a rock band sounds like due to the fact that they create a melange of many different sounds. Their sound is a folky cornucopia of groove, vocals, and backbeat. However, there is one common theme that holds their musical diversity together and that is honesty. This honesty comes out best when they are performing live and thus they put on a great show. They create an old school vibe by sharing an emphasis on melody, lyrics, harmony and natural sound.
They are currently working on a 3 song EP that is a bit of a departure from “where Anything Goes”. Once this is in the bag they intend to tour and travel more. They have started to break into the Ontario market and they plan to further expand their musical horizons. Their music is continually changing and developing. While seeing new places and meeting people they are able to both spread their music and draw from new inspirations.
