The Wells - Live at Frosty's Pub
 The
Wells are a trio rock and roll band out of Montreal. Their
fusion of influences produce an eclectic mix of hard driving
rhythms, melodic harmonies and poignant lyrics to create
a sound to live by.
The Wells were formed in 1998 in Montreal after a long
history of friendship between the three members Chris,
Rick and Naze. They were determined to work independently
and to write and perform music on their own terms.
They wanted to get back to the roots of Rock’n’Roll and
rock out in the pubs. Sample
their unique sound of The Wells at their official website
