The Wyo's

To access the bands songs you need to go to a different page- search 'The Wyos', not 'The WYO's', and you'll find it. The Wyos originate in Limerick and Dublin in Ireland, via London England. If there's an Irish equivalent of Americana then that's where they live- acoustic guitars, mandolins, lap steel, and an unhealthy obsession with alcohol and the scars of a catholic upbringing. The ghosts of Beckett and Flann O'Brien in a drunken brawl, or a drunken sing-song, could go either way.

The grand gesture in all it's futile glory, the island mentality, the never ending guilt, and the melody, that's the main thing. If you like their songs you can buy their album at www.cdbaby.com, or the itunes store. Just search 'The Wyos', or 'The WYO's', either should get you there.
