With 2 EP’s (SpringWood and SpringWood’s Electric Luau) & a new single (So What You’re Sayin’) released in 2021 on all music media platforms, the combination of musical talent and creativity you will hear together is the end result we call “The SpringWood Sound.”

“Sloppy” Joe Lyons Take

This is a fun band to listen to. I can’t really put them into one category of rock, so you will have to deal with that. My first shot at listening to them was their four song EP, “Electric Luau”. Four solid songs. It is a good listen. I am especially fond of the first track “Party With You.” A cool song to take your mind of this crazy ass year. Recently, Springwood released a single, “So What You’re Sayin” is a pretty rock solid song to jam.

So, both the EP and the Single are available for purchase on Bandcamp. Go buy them and support this fun, ukulele playing, hard rock band from New Jersey!
