"I strive for music to be a journey. To take a diverse trip. Traveling through space and shape, hard driving moments and those laid open, through light and dark. Everything in between. Guttural, worldly, spiritual, timeless. The ultimate goal is to write and perform in a way that is true to the goodness and love of the universe. To fight for it. To raise a sword in the name of it. The 'whateveryoucallit' is not cold or dark. It is warm, benevolent and full of hope. It is larger than anyone of us. One just need be open to it." -Will

Sounds Likehard time loading the songs on myspace? Check Will Hanza out at jamwave.com, here: http://www.jamwave.com/artist.aspx?AID=596

"sounds like" myself, but you could easily say my influences have made me sound similar. I certainly try to have my own voice, soul, whatever. Some bands, though, for those searching for similar: Pink Floyd , Radiohead , Jethro Tull , Led Zeppelin , Tool , King Crimson , Jimi Hendrix , Sonic Youth , Sun Ra , Jeff Buckley , Sun Ra , Frank Zappa I would not say I am "as good" as any of these bands, but I feel my approach has similar aspects in that world music-psychedelic rock and roll kind of way. doe ray mi.

“I love the innovative style and I love that they're not afraid to take chances. Will is a fierce performer” NYCGigs.com

"Hanza's an NYC-based artist who obviously loves him some Hendrix and all sorts of jammy guitar stuff" The L Magazine, www.thelmagazine.com

“Pushing the boundries... High level of musicianship... Very distinctive styling throughout.” “Taxi” review, TAXI.com

"A rollercoaster of vocals and melodies, that keeps the listener focused and interested." Eugene Foley, Foley Entertainment, Inc., foleyentertainment.com)

WILL HANZA defies all categorization so we had to put him in one all his own: World Beat Alt-Folk Rock. What does that mean, exactly? Well, you’ll have to buy his CD to ultimately find out, but the discovery will be well worth it. Each song will uncover itself in layer upon layer like all great music tends to do upon repeated listenings. And then when Will Hanza walks down the street we can look and wonder, “How does he do it?” Radio Mike "Fevered Brain" in Austin, TX thefeveredbrainofradiomike.com

“‘Open’ is so bursting with musical and spiritual energy, lush soundscapes, and riveting musicianship that it threatens to spill open like a bag of buried treasure... The first two cuts alone, “Trying to Keep This” and “The Game” have more melodic excitement and tonal variety than most CDs generate in 50 minutes.” Timothy Peters MusicDish.com

Hi,

I'm happy to announce that my new album "Songs From The Films Of David Lynch" is out now.

"Truly unsettling and perplexingly brilliant... testament to both the quality of Lynch’s soundtracks and Truax’s talents" - The Skinny

Lynch Album Cover Medium jpg

"Truax is paying homage to a kindred spirit with this album. It's the best kind of tribute – affectionate and respectful, but with its own quirks and imaginative leaps and its own distinct identity." -The Scotsman


"Great stuff." -Buzz Magazine

No other bands - takes you on a voyage from here to the planet Pluto.

Pluto planet Pictures, Images and Photos
But, whoops. Pluto is not a planet anymore. What is happening??? All the peoples around the world, learned for years that Pluto IS A PLANET.

I am sure about The Pink floyd knew it also. How can some humans just change a planet to zero??? It is still up there. Anyway this is another PF pic.
