Anyone who has ever seen the Bayreuth trio Weak Willies live knows the incredibly captivating power emanating from their legendary performances. They were already on stage at a time when the flagship German label Glitterhouse Records was generating international attention among fans and the media with sixties rock/garage punk and collaborations with Sub Pop and Amphetamine Reptile. Mudhoney, Helmet, Monster Magnet, and Mother Tongue—the list of influences could be extended indefinitely beyond the post-grunge era.
Singer/guitarist Peter Weintritt, bassist/singer Andreas Hoffmann, and drummer/singer Ralf Irmler remain rock 'n' roll junkies to this day, extending their congenial gaze to alternative country rock. It's no surprise, then, that the three Franconians have no reason to shy away from comparisons with Anglo-American role models from The Stooges and Ramones to the Foo Fighters and European colleagues like The Hives.
The Weak Willies haven't released anything in a long time. Now they're back with the long-awaited album "Anti-Asshole Squad." We realize just how much we've missed them upon first listen, and with the 17 tracks, they truly live up to their motto "All in the name of rock 'n' roll." The Weak Willies have stayed true to themselves without treading water. With "Anti-Asshole Squad," they have 100% succeeded in once again capturing the raw spirit of their encyclopedic musical knowledge on record.
