Novatone (Rock Tracks)

The Seattle group Novatone has roots in the city's 1990s scene, long predating their first album in 2005. Led by accomplished musicians, singer Ty Willman was in Green Apple Quick Step, while Dave Krusen played drums on Pearl Jam's "Ten." Novatone's debut album, "Time Can't Wait," bears traces of the post-Grunge Seattle sound, but also weaves in a range of Hard Rock, Soul, and Pop influences to create unique sound and style. Lyrical ballads, edgy Rock, and intense performances have made this band very popular on the Seattle Indie scene.
