About Me


Low Water is continuing work on "Twisting the Neck of the Swan" their third release, due out in late Spring '08...The new video for "Sister, Leave Me" IS DONE! And you can give a listen to the Brazilian radio interview we posted above if you're into that kinda thing...also planning shows in Cleveland, Pittsburgh and the area in June as we gear up to go on the road in earnest later in September. Don't be a stranger, yeah?
You can preview and buy songs from" Who Said That Life Is Over? " from iTunes!
WHAT'D YOU CALL ME?
"Though Low Water may be from Williamsburg, their brand of hyphen free rock music has more in common with the rust belt than expensive, trendy, studded belts." -- irockcleveland.blogspot.com
"Honest, unpretentious rock is a precious comodity; Low Water is the real deal... delivering the goods with uncompromising simplicity and homage to the spirit of rock and roll".-- Jeff Shelton, AMPLIFIER MAGAZINE
"'Who Said That Life Is Over?' defies its Williamsburg roots as the hottest anti-hipster record this year."
- Kevin Keating, ORIGIVATION MAGAZINE, PHILADELPHIA
"In both sound and subject matter ("Who Said That Life Is Over?") conjures up the ghosts of wasted nights sitting around playing the sad songs on Exile on Main St. on a turntable, surrounded by empties and cigarette butts ... and the helpless (but not hopeless) feeling that life makes sense ... even if you're royally fucked tomorrow."
--Aaron Jentzen, PITTSBURGH CITY PAPER
"Classic rock as filtered through a weird amalgam of slacker rock, Brit-pop and some slight country too ...gorgeous melodies...well done."--DAGGER, PORTLAND
"... Strong songs with accessable lyrics, memorable melodies and solid guitar riffs."
-- Sara Baumberger, AM NEW YORK
"Brit influences like XTC and The Beatles sneak into the mix, but Low Water's (sound) is melodic, American Rock". --MESH MAGAZINE, SAN FRANCISCO
"Low Water are brilliant lyricists and engaging rockers ...dozens of lyrical gems surface throughout the record, as well as a nice variety of studio bells and whistles that color each song... 'House in the City' is a standout..."
-- Ben Krieger, JEZEBELMUSIC.COM
"Their laid-back rock, full of slow guitar riffs and supported by John Leitera's rough vocals is a perfect prelude to the last long weekend of summer."
-- S. Davis, THE DELI
"Low Water prove you still neither have to reinvent the wheel nor cater to modern tastes to make wonderfully constructed rock & roll full of smarts and power..."
-- Mike Breen, CINCINNATI CityBeat
"Gritty post-Replacements rock with style and substance...Great lyrics, better vocals, with some nice guitar noise to distract you while the melody invades your brain and sets up shop."-- PITTSBURGH POST GAZZETTE
"(Low Water’s) sound is decidedly down to earth … fuzzy guitars and literate but still- accessible lyrics..."-- NUVO, INDIANAPOLIS
"...sounding a little bit Alt-Country (if Alt-country spent time in a smoky French café), Low Water is sure to make the ladies swoon with their knack for songcraft and an aching heart.."--SELLOUT MAGAZINE
The songs are tight, the melodies are catchy, and the riffs are firmly rooted in a classic, dirty blues tradition...with that vinyl-era sound that never really goes out of fashion...."--WEST COAST PERFORMER
"...Pouting, heart-on-sleeve songs are elevated above your average Emo rock by melodic and tasteful guitar playing, subtle humor, and masterful and clever wordplay...leaves you wanting more. ...San Francisco's loss is New York City's gain."- Michael Burbo, THE DAVIS ENTERPRISE
"Strong songs...gravitating guitar work...multiple vocal harmonies...(Low Water) are gathering up more critical praise day in and day out."
