Wit Woo Sophomore Effort Definately Sophmoric

"Like many bands born from the belly of plaid, coffee shops and grunge, Wit Woo is a refreshing breath of fresh sounds along the lines of Weezer, Lit and Blink 182. But rather than waxing of gloomy anti-love, pain songs like their older Seattle brothers, Wit Woo refers back to a simpler time when Rock-Em Sock-Em Robots & Stretch Armstrong ruled the toy box. With references to schoolboy crushes, super heros and livingroom furniture, Wit Woo blends tight harmonies with punchy rythmns to create a sound that leaves fans spinning in place. Unlike many of their slacker Emerald City forerunners, Wit Woo seems more comfortable drinking a Bud Lite in a bright yellow rain coat than sipping espresso and wearing Dr. Martins. After scoring a huge local hit with their first effort, WWI, Wit Woo shows no signs of resting on their laurels. Guitarist Chip Hodges creates a fluid template of tones with the furious power chords on tracks like "URBAN MYTH" to the tastey structures of "RAID". (a song which paying tribute to older brother, Big Dope's high school band) All in all, "ENJOY" is an excellent Sophomore effort that deserves a listen."
