  • Do I smell the "big time"
    author: Lucid X

    Welbilt is one of the most worth while bands I have come across in 12 years. They have started for a lot of big named bands and have been in just about everything including video games. If you like Welbilt support them, let's help them get their day in the sun!

  • yum.

  • Such a groupie
    author: Crystal "Marymount Girl"

    I saw them play at Marymount and I have been following them since hehe. I am such a groupie and I dont know how it happened just happened with Nate looking at me with his smile and that was it all the girls melted. hehe I can't wait to see them on mainstream and getting some attention and i will be like I knew them when and I will get front row seats. Right right. good to know. lata Crystal

  • WOW....
    author: Vicky

    I saw them last Friday in my town, and they were so impressive! They aren't your typical local band. If they can get a deal, then, I know that they can really go far in the business. The lyrics rock, and all the songs have something different about them, and they all are amazing and leave you wanting more. I may just buy the CD, because I think they are now one of my favorite bands!

  • Great sound
    author: Scott from the 3 White Guys and a Puerto Rican Show

    "Everything Is Alright" has been sitting at #1 on our Top 10 list for a while now. The whole CD diffently is worth buying. We've gotten sh** loads of requests for these guys at the radio station. My friend who served in the Army took a special liking to "Anthem". If you haven't heard it yet then you won't understand why he did until you listen, so buy the CD now!!!!

  • Awesome

  • Just well-built music.
    author: Luigi de Guzman

    An excellent CD, and one of my favorites. I got this album and it stayed in my CD player for weeks. Honest, sometimes plaintive songwriting but with enough rock to keep you coming back for more. Close vocal harmonies and tight arrangements--a welcome and refreshing break from all the distortion-laden, snarling aggravation on the radio. Buy this CD now. You'll be glad you did. And if you can possibly make it to a show, go hear them yourself.

  • AWESOME
    author: Rehan

    "A Beautiful Mess" is my favorite album. Every song on the CD from track 1 to 12 is amazing in its own way. My personal favorite is "All I've Ever Tasted" which is a stunningly emotional song about moving on to bigger and better things, and saying goodbye to all that you have to leave behind. I've seen Welbilt live several times. They come to my eating club in Princeton every few months, and they put on a killer live show. If you don't have this CD, buy it now. You can check out a few of their songs at www.welbiltmusic.com . PS - If you know anyone in the music industry, for God's sake, tell them to sign Welbilt to a record deal!!!

  • Incredible
    author: Vanderlans

    How can this be an unsigned band??? I listened to a few of their songs on the WashingtonPost webside, and immediately jumped to CDBaby to buy their CD. All of the songs are great rock songs with excellent production, guarenteed to make you feel good! And some of them are even staight-out chartbusters. With the right promotion I reckon these guys will evolve into world famous artists. I hope the band realises what possible fame'n'fortune they have created here.

  • Music and Guys are awesome
    author: Les

    What an awesome album from a bunch of awesome guys. I know Bill and Nick and they are real cool guys. This cd has a nice mix of solos, killer bass lines, and anthem like songs that everyone sings along to at the concerts. If you haven't checked it out already, do it right away. Everyone of these guys is awesome and together they kick major a$$.

  • local guys and theyre pretty awesome keep up good work
    author: erin

    These guys are local to my area and theyre really good. Some friends of mine have met them and they say theyre pretty cool guys too. I think A Beuatiful Mess is really outstanding second record and i love it its really thoughtful but not too queer or anything. Awesome keep up the good work peace and love, Erin

  • Must hear
    author: Jaxta'

    This is Welbilt's second CD and it is really good. i enjoyed hearing my favorites from the Welbilt concerts I've been. My favorite-Everything's alright. I went to see a concert in baltimore and stumbled upon another great local band -Aphile. CD baby also offers their cd, check it out Aphile is awsome.

    Not so long ago I reviewed Welbilt´s 4-track EP that was a pleasant surprise. So I was a bit eager to get my hands on their full-length debut album and hear if the EP just was a phenomenon. So after the first spin I gladly have to say that these guys have managed to record a great 12-track modern rock album with the Godsmack producer Andre "Mudrock" Murdock behind the board. They open up with the straight ahead rocker "Everything´s Alright" that is laced with electric/acoustic guitars in the best Lifehouse style, great start. "Only" is more laid-back acoustic mid-tempo song with nice melodies that reminds of The Calling. Up-tempo rocker "Enough" is one of the strongest tracks on this album with a chorus that hits you hard and loud with Nickelback in mind. Imagine Matchbox 20 mixed with Nickelback and you will get "Down In Flames". This is an awesome song that starts slow but when the chorus arrives they turn on the heat, brilliant. The 4 tracks from the EP "24 Hours, Anthem, Remedy and Spiderweb" are on the album too. Welbilt has recorded a very strong debut album that should please every modern rock fan that are into The Calling, Nickelback, Lifehouse and some hints of Matchbox 20. These guys are not in the same leauge as the acts I mentioned but they are not far behind and if they get a proper promotion they can go far. The singer Nate Ihara has a strong and melodic voice that gives the songs an extra touch. Great album guys and keep up the good work.

    Phenominal CD. It's albums like this that linger in my CD player for ages...and bands like this that refresh me...and that remind my heart what good music is. The lyrics are unmistakably honest..and with each guitar strum...this beautiful mess has become one of the favorites in my CD collection.

  • Great CD guys

  • Best CD I've listened to in a long time!
    author: Amy

    A Beautiful Mess is an awesome CD. My favorite songs include All I've Ever Tasted and Dilemma. Although these are my favorite, all of them are awesome, and I enjoy listening to them time and time again. This CD brightens my mood when I'm down and hopefully they'll be many more to come!

  • AMAZING!
    author: Val

    To anyone who has yet to hear Welbilt: This CD is a necessary addition to all CD collections. They play with so much enthusiasm. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

  • "sonically vibrant....impressive songwriting"
    author: Washington Post

    Washington Post –December 5, 2003 Friday, December 5, 2003; Page WE08 WELBILT "A Beautiful Mess" Independent Welbilt's name is far more descriptive of its debut CD than "A Beautiful Mess," the title the Fairfax-based rock quartet finally chose. With singer-songwriter and guitarist Nate Ihara at the helm and Godsmack producer Andre "Mudrock" Murdock behind the board, the group has turned out a consistently sturdy and occasionally inspired collection of anthemic ballads and full-bore rockers. In the process, Hard Rock Cafe's choice last year for "The Best Unsigned Band in America" delivers on its promise. "Mess" does apply to one thing here, though: the tangle of emotions and questions that often spark Ihara's impressive songwriting and convincing vocals. Whether he views composing lyrics as a means of sorting things out is anyone's guess, but he certainly leaves that impression on "Everything's Alright," "All I've Ever Tasted" and other songs that resonate with unresolved issues. The good news is that unlike many lyricists who bare their souls in public, Ihara is too talented a rock tunesmith to leave listeners feeling queasy. He has plenty of help, too. "A Beautiful Mess" is sonically vibrant, laced with electric/acoustic guitar textures and equipped with more than enough rhythmic punch to keep Ihara's romantic bent from getting the best of him. A lot of credit for that has to go to guitarist Buddy Speir, bassist Nick Briscoe and drummer Bill Ledbetter. -- Mike Joyce
