Watashi Wa

Inspiration comes full circle. Sixteen years since Watashi Wa’s last release, a confluence of creativity, circumstances, and trust revitalizes, re-energizes, and reignites the acclaimed California band founded and fronted by singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer Seth Roberts. Joined by Jeremy Wells [bass], Miles Castenholtz [guitar], Teddy Ramirez [drums], Roger Tompkins [guitar], and Tyler Tedeschi [guitar, co-producer], Seth has crafted the right music for the right time on the band’s long-awaited fourth full-length offering, People Like People [Tooth & Nail Records]. “It was the right time,” he affirms.“ I felt called to do Watashi Wa again—as if this was what I was supposed to be doing. In the past, it was often difficult. Now, the songs came out easily. When I was writing, it just was Watashi Wa. These days, my perspective on music is similar to the freedom I had when I was younger and first started the band. Things in the world pushed me towards it even more. I thought, ‘Why not just do Watashi Wa again?’” Why not indeed…
