Review by Matty K

Out of Long Branch, New Jersey, The Well Wish is back with their latest single “Peace~Love~Truth.”  With a smooth and sultry delivery, “Peace~Love~Truth” will challenge some of us to dive into a little self-reflection. The piece speaks to some deep issues regarding how we can sometimes treat each other and how the results of our actions can manifest.

To label their latest effort as simply an alternative indie rock song, doesn’t quite give it the credit it deserves. In my mind, I keep coming back to “fusion” as a way to describe this multi-layered performance. The vocals hover above ethereal chords before the melody comes to greet us; conveyed through beautiful guitar tones and exquisite string work. The entire track is supported by a locked-in rhythm section that brings some cool bass runs and great cymbal work. R&B, jazz, rock...it all comes together perfectly on “Peace~Love~Truth” ... and it feels absolutely cohesive.

The Well Wish is really putting it together nicely with this one. Be sure to check out the very cool lyric video above that accompanies the song on YouTube. A review of the band’s "About" page on www.thewellwish.com, gives us a quick synopsis of group’s history and musical influences. Can’t wait to sit back and enjoy a live performance of “Peace~Love~Truth”!

Matty K is an avid rock & roll fan. The sounds, the imagery, the folklore...there’s a passion for it all. Lifelong Jersey local and a self-proclaimed “basement musician,” he finds himself spending a lot of time explaining why he’s not a music snob. “Hmm...maybe I am.”
