"Aussies aren’t shy. Fact. And there’s no holding back on what must be one of the most confident debuts of all time as the wonderful White Widdow roll back the years to bring 80s hair metal bang up to date." - Review from Rush On Rock
White Widdow – White Widdow (AOR Heaven)
Aussies aren’t shy. Fact. And there’s no holding back on what must be one of the most confident debuts of all time as the wonderful White Widdow roll back the years to bring 80s hair metal bang up to date.
Vocalist Jules Millis might hail from Melbourne but with a voice like this he wouldn’t be out of place treading the boards on the Sunset Strip – and he’s got the tunes to take him there. Mixing slick Survivor-esque rockers with the odd weepy ballad, WW whip all fans of classic AOR into a spandex-clad frenzy and the sooner they set foot in the towns and cities of the UK the better.
Tracks like Tokyo Rain and Fire & Ice recount a golden age of MTV-friendly pop metal while the fabulous Broken Hearts Won’t Last Forever will have heavily made-up groupies falling at the band’s feet.
The Widdow won’t win any prizes for originality but if the gongs are being dished out for pure retro cool then this lot will clean up at the back end of 2010. If fellow Aussies Airbourne can forge a career from aping AC/DC then there’s no reason Millis and his mates can’t do the same working from the blueprint of 80s rock. SR

"They've got the hooks & melodies to trade licks with the best of them" - D.Cockett, Destiny Records
Although they’ve only been together as a band for a couple of years now, on the evidence of their self titled debut, White Widow come over with all the self assurance of long term vets. Built around the emotive vocal style of Jules Millis (also a member of glamsters The Deadthings, he’s very close to Treat man Robert Ernlund at times), their effervescent, sylphlike blend of melodic hard rock and classic AOR (think Treat meets Survivor at a White Sister reunion) is a million miles away from the raucous, sub AC/DC styled rock ‘n’ roll normally associated with our antipodean cousins.

"An enjoyable romp, with lots of parping keyboards - the we like 'em" - Malcom Dome, Classic Rock Magazine
White Widdow are that rarest of beast – a good Aussie melodic rock band. Their self-titled, debut album reeks of the mid-80s (the era of Dokken, White Sister and Bon Jovi), and is all the better for it. An enjoyable romp, with lots of parping keyboards – the way we like ’em. - Malcom Dome, Classic Rock Magazine. http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/classic-rocks-new-releases-round-up-14/
