"It's so refreshing to put a CD in the player and the music grabs you right from the get go. This month's review is for Iron Will and their EP Secrets. It will be no secret that we will be hearing a lot of Iron Will in the future! ..." - Brevard Live
Iron Will is a recently formed Alt-Rock project from Central Florida. They list Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine amongst their influences. Much like their song title, Iron Will’s latest offering is neither harmful nor offensive. In the ethos of genre forefathers, namely Live and Bush, Innocuous is a track that draws you in with mid-tempo beats and plenty of hooks to guide the listener through.
Solid guitar riffs and soaring vocals produce an anthem-like quality. The lead singer and guitarist William Walsh’s deep passion for music is demonstrative. The quality of track production reflects this passion, as does the tight rhythm section. Positivity flows through the track’s lyrics, making it perfect for a relaxed Sunday morning.
While sharing lyrically positive messages may not be en vogue, the song is reminiscent of post-grunge at its height and definitely has merit. For anyone who has missed 90s alt-rock- this may be the band that fills a Creed-shaped hole. - For the love of bands, Delyth

Founded in 2019 by frontman William Walsh, Iron Will has bursted onto the alt-rock scene by storm. Compared to the likes of Incubus, 30 Seconds to Mars and Circa Survive, the group’s sound is a summation of their diverse influences. Comprised of William, Jeff Daughtridge (Bass) and Jamie Pannucci (drums), the members share a combined 50 years of experience in the industry and it shows.
“Our passion for music exudes through our sound and stage presence.” William says, “You will hear driving rock rhythms, with atmospheric guitar & synth as well as melodic vocals. If you delve a layer deeper, you will find meaningful lyrics that inspire.”
Winners of the IndieCon 2019 Next Big Thing Award, Iron Will continues to ride the momentum of their debut EP Secrets. Professional critics claim the group is deserving of national attention and it was national attention they received; Radio airplay on over 100 stations nationwide and direct licensing deals with Major TV & Sport networks. That momentum has carried to the live stage as well, Iron Will has headlined Space Coast Music Festival, multiple shows in Central Florida and have recently added Seattle HempFest to their schedule in 2020.
“This is just the beginning for us”, said William in an interview. “We are just getting started.” What’s next you might ask? Iron Will has new music coming! Their next single, Public Enemy, was just announced to release in October 16th.
