For the longest time, the bio on the Witnesses' web page read "the Witnesses are a rock band from New York City." A description rather astute in its simplicity, this is the most accurate statement to be made about the band. Even a cursory glance at their live show would provide sufficient evidence; unconcerned with the frills of New York City scene's rock conventions, the Witnesses prefer to just cut loose with bravado and abandon. They cut a very limited 12" EP for Hungry Eye Records of 4 songs that are staples of their live set.

The Witnesses- We're Taking Over 12"
New York City's newest Rock n Roll exports, the Witnesses continue their whirlwind conquest of the Naked City with this latest release. Combining equal doses of soul and swagger, they offer up four songs of vigorous bluesy rock nroll devoid of any garage rock pretension. Pressed for their debut appearance in the UK for their tour supporting Har Mar Superstar, this limited 12" EP provides a great introduction for those of you who've yet to hear them.
