You know how
sometimes people sound familiar, while also sound original and
fresh? I'd say Wil Deynes is like that. Put Ben Folds, Dashboard
Confessionals and Keane in a blender, hit the switch and the sound
you hear will be Deynes.

has a pop sensibility that appeal to all ages, a timeless sound
that is gaining Wil a steady following on the east coast.

arguing and laughing on the streets of his Bronx neighborhood, or
by just checking out other NYC artists.
