The usual sounds brought to mind at the sight of a cityscape are typically loud, harsh, and overbearing. Roaring bus engines, rumbling trains on their tracks, and buzzing markets and cafes all amplify the sounds of people coming and going. These sounds create a constant, yet ever changing hum - a tune that can provide limitless resources for creative minds, but can also pummel the creative spirit. It is from this constant hum that We Are The Willows' Peter Miller conceptualized the tonal sound-scapes of his debut full-length, A Collection Of Sounds And Something Like The Plague.
Originally from Eau Claire, WI, Miller now resides in Minneapolis, MN where he attended college. At the age of 24, Miller has spent the majority of the last six years immersed in the Minneapolis music scene, actively recording and performing in bands throughout his college years. Since graduating, while working his former full-time job as a preschool teacher, Miller has concentrated fully on music. We Are The Willows is one of two current projects; Miller also lends his songwriting, guitar playing and vocals to well accomplished Minneapolis-based indie rock band, Red Fox Grey Fox. We Are The Willows started as a side project - a place to write songs outside of the structure of a full-band, but has slowly become a main focus for the singer/songwriter.

"Merkava is a unique band in that they blend a variety of musical styles. They have a heavy sound but mix in some tropical and jazz themes from time to time. I also noticed that they had two drum sets on stage and at times would switch off playing the second set between a few different members. They also had some bongos they worked in every so often and would also switch vocalists. I like this because it screams talent and cooperation; showing that one member isn't afraid to give the spotlight or share his instrumental attributes with another musician. Its a sign that a band works together well and has greater potential to last...
...they impressed me enough to want more. Their broad and comprehensive sound is awesome and I think would be attractive to folks who enjoy an experimental, more spacey sound. I look forward to seeing Merkava again and I'm sure we'll have plenty of chances to do so." - Beatlanta.com
