As most of our readers know, RockRevolt has a love affair with music. We love it even more when that music is earth shatteringly wonderful, as it is in the case of Owl.
Featuring The Cult’s Chris Wyse on bass and vocals, Dan Dinsmore on drums, and Jason Achilles Mezilis on guitar, Owl explores spaces and nuances often ignored by other artists. They pull in musical elements that hit effectively, but also bring to light the talent and passion that lies at the core of this trio. Owl is raw, unbridled, and because of the unmistakable skill of its members, their execution and delivery is immaculate. If you want to find true music, this is where you will find it.
Read on to see the intriguing conversation we had with Chris, in which we touch on many subjects, from the deep to superficial, and just enjoy picking at the mind of a modern musical master.
