2nd EP album recorded by Weesp Quotes: “I know they are listed as an Alternative group, but there are some Metal influences there. I really think they could do well in both worlds, currently I see them on a tour with 30 Seconds to Mars (when Leto isn’t busy being the Joker for DC’s Suicide Squad) or hell even Muse.” Damnation Magazine “They’re clearly going for something big, and then bigger. At times reminiscent of everyone from Duran Duran to Yes to 30 Seconds to Mars, these alternative Eastern Bloc rockers combine an almost New Wavish sense of rhythm and freespiritedness with an underbelly of melancholy that sinks into one’s skin. They’re polished but not that polished. Which isn’t to say that they’re raw or that the production values are sub-par. It’s more that they’re not as machine-produced as bands from the U.S. or England tend to be, nor are they anything like your typical DIY punk outfit or garage band. They’re inventive, they’re open, they’re willing to go for combinations that most Western bands appear to shy away from—who tend to be too self-conscious of whatever image they’re trying to project or whatever genre they’re trying to stay true to (for fear of alienating judgmental, restrictive fans) to venture outside of that sound or that style.” Devon Jackson - Review of Weesp music “This Minsk Techno-Metal band have certainly got a unique sound with their mixture of samples and electro being mixed together with crushing guitars, clean vocals and guttural screams. ... Speaking of which, the bass line delivered by Mi on ‘Sub’ is incredible, moving from shredding bass lines to outrageously quick slap and back to slow, deliberate bass lines at will. There is a huge Korn type outro to this song again showing the flipping of styles. The is plenty to like about Weesp but with so many different styles being crammed in to each song it ultimately makes it feel too busy and congested, not leaving much room for changes in dynamic. That said there are areas of the metal community that will lap this up.” Stencil Magazine - Weesp CD review “Experimentalist Rock band from Minsk, Belarus latest single, "Our Own Gale" opens with spacey synth sounds, and throughout has a great mix of relaxing ambience and electricity through their energy and electronic effects, creating a strong and powerful single!..like that of a storm slowly and beautifully building up strength! You will find it hard not to get swept away by their interesting and infectious sound! Vocalist, Alexei (Lex) Falco has an unusual and expressive range that compliments their out of this world sound perfectly! I predict big things for Weesp!” Carina Lawrence - Our Own Gale Review “Weesp are fresh, exciting and a great example of good European music, a few Western influences I admit but this is a great band full stop. Alternative is a great word and although this may not be the best fitting genre description I think you’ll find that Weesp when you give them a good listen are such a fuse of styles and music that you’ll just love them. The last time I heard a band with this many styles and sounds was when I first got into Faith No More, this is a totally different band but there is a lot of the same excitement here. For a first time check out ‘Exodus Origins’ and I think you’ll be very impressed. Weesp are a rare and talented breed.” Nick J.Townsend - Rock Links - WEESP (Minsk / Belarus) “Weesp They are a larger than life alternative rock band from Minsk..Their latest single named "Exodus", taken from their conceptual trilogy, "Exodus: Origins" has a unique interesting and futuristic sound, aided largely by the distinctive synths and effects, as well as the amazing dynamics and great range of vocals; clean and soothing to searing screaming and not to mention extremely catchy! This band is a must hear especially if you are a fan of Muse and 30 seconds to mars! Their song, "Taste of steel" I highly recommend!..It is well structured with very clever transitions and stunning vocals!.. Its a solid, systematic and overall excellent track that keeps you guessing!! This band are out of this world!!..They certainly won't be causing a mass 'exodus' at their shows, as they are bound to draw in a massive crowd with their huge spacey sound!!..They will make a big impact on you!!” CariJane BSR - Weesp - a larger than life alternative rock band from Minsk. “All the way from Minsk, Belarus- Weesp is by far one of my favorite bands to listen to. It’s hard to compare this band to any other. These guys have it all. With Rock being their main ingredient, it’s unfair to only identify them as a rock band. This band has its own unique style and sound. Weesp is fresh, energetic and exciting to listen to. Commonly identified as “a great example of European music,” Weesp is on their way to become one of the most well-known bands around the world! Please take the time to get to know these guys and their amazing music.” Ryans Gig Guide
