West Water Outlaws Debut Album
by Tim Wenger
Boulder’s West Water Outlaws are dropping there long-awaited debut album this month. The tracks are hard hitting, with all the intensity of modern alternative rock crashing head on with the raw emotion of classic blues lyricism. “Feeling Come Back” is a definitive example of the band’s sound- transitioning smoothly across genre lines but never venturing as far as losing direction, crashing from verse into chorus with fuzzy distortion and smashing drum lines- I found it nearly impossible not to bang my head to the rhythm. The track “Gimme,” on the other hand, presents the mellower, acoustically-driven side of the band but maintains the vocal intensity that Blake Rooker has become known for.
Steering away from stereotypical Boulder electronica and jam music, West Water Outlaws are vigilantly carving their own path through the thick forestry of the local music scene and into the ears of the un-expecting crowds awaiting on the other side, unaware of the mind-blowing, high energy rock that is about to hit them.
