Will’s Band of the Week

This week it's our SXSW 2026 preview. Check it out. www.willsband.net

Sorry for my bad image uploading. Sound Affects by the Jam. Also it’s not so cool now but back then I was all over U2’s first album, Boy. It was the best thing I had ever heard up to that time of my life.

Search for Parting Blue and it should be there.

One of this week's bonus songs is by an unheralded, and unknown to be before this week, shoegaze band from Providence, Rhode Island, active in the '90s, called Difference Engine. Check them out.

Thank you Brett. If there was any one artist who influenced Dave the most, it was the Church.

This week, Dry Cleaning, Joe Glass, and Silk Daisys. Inadvertently recorded in mono. Next week back to stereo hifi mode! www.willsband.net

Check out Barlow if you haven’t already. Criminally overlooked.

Indiana is a juggernaut, but still, that’s hard to watch.

We’ll know a lot more on 1/13 when the next big drop is due.

Yes, the Tubs guy is in that band too!

Will’s band, as in Will’s actual band, is Parting Blue. @partingblue.bsky.social
We released a holiday single, Winter Wonderland, that we recorded 30 years ago. It’s on all the streaming services. Major update coming in 2026!

I’ve been bad about posting here. We have a new episode almost every week. www.willsband.net

Really liking the Massage album. Saw the Wedding Present a few months ago. Current touring lead guitarist is great!

So you’re saying they had a below zero chance? 😊

This week - Jeanines, Ryli, and Lightheaded. www.willsband.net

Podcast will be later this week. I’ve tried to be consistent with the Sunday evening releases but it’s not always possible. Trying to be a bit more flexible.

That’s crazy. I totally forgot. I am going back and listening to that episode!
