"Low watts rocks. They play with an energy beyond the GB., yet retain the
melodic underpinnings of that group... The quality of these songs is every bit as good as any GB
song and most have a harder edge to them.
They are more guitar driven, yet without the "Byrds" type of jangle in the GB." -from Sam's Review
"Jesse and Daryl harmonize so well together, and their songwriting
is awesome... If you have ever heard any of Jesse's songs, you know that they are very poppy
and upbeat. The Low Watts have that exact sound, but with a little country
flavor mixed in." -from Ron's Review
"Take away the Gin Blossoms songs. Take away Robin Wilson's distinctive
tenor. And what are you left with? Well, in the case of the Low Watts,
probably more than you might have thought.
Although he's not likely to make anyone forget that Robin was voice
behind all of the Gin Blossoms hits, Jesse Valenzuela has one talent
that keeps the Low Watts well above being just another bar band. The
ability to craft a hook--and from this tape (Nita's Hideaway 7/4/97),
it's obvious that he doesn't need the Blossoms behind him to do it. " -from Chaco's Review
"There's just enough latin influence in some songs to make
you want to get up and dance but not too much that those without good
diverse musical tastes would just file them away in the latin music rack
at a Virgin Megastore." -from Diane's Review
"I really think the Eagles and Low Watts share a lot of similarities that can't be solely accounted for by the influence of Arizona... similarities that have more to do with solid guitar-based songwriting. It will be a shame if these songs aren't heard anywhere outside of small bars in the Phoenix area. They deserve to be recorded and mixed with care, and showcased on a cd, so that everyone can hear them." - from Joe's review
