Whiz Bang Three

"New local group... working up a kind of dirty blues-rock sound. Strong female vocals." - On Tap Magazine

"Headlined by the personality of Maureen Nelson, and her wide eyed intensity, Whiz Bang Three delivers a mixture of blues and jazz, rock and soul, with a freshness that is, without a doubt, entirely their own." - Tom Goss

Whiz Bang Three
Best Original Jumbo Slice

I have been told that Rock and Roll is dead.

I have no idea what that means but it is obvious to me people are not paying attention. What is truer is that musicians are refusing to be categorized, pigeonholed into one genre, whatever that genre may be. Whiz Bang Three is certainly an example of this.

Infusing rock, jazz, blues and a lot of soul into their debut EP Best Original Jumbo Slice, Whiz Bang is out to prove that unconventional is the new norm. Fronted by the mesmerizing and eccentric Maureen Nelson, the EP opens with a strong, thumping “Wound Up Tightly� pronouncing - “You’ve got to keep me begging, keep me down on my knees.� With exclamations like that, how can we refuse?

The 5-track EP forges ahead, barreling through sweet, volatile and bitter memories from past loves and tragic loss. Proving that although love is conflicted, it is never hopeless. Closing with the acoustic jazz/hip-hop track “Life List�, Whiz Bang Three asks not only “did you think?�, but more importantly, “did you sing?� When it comes to life’s little hurdles can there be a more important question?
