WhAt Are the odds?

WATO - Five individuals who have come together against all odds to make thrilling and theatrical music that convey both passionate and utterly bizarre messages. Some might brand them as hardcore, metal or even fusion, but WATO couldn’t care less about genre. This band only cares about two things...

1. Does the sound hit like a brick wall?

and

2. Does the music make you feel something?

That's why WATO pulls up to every single show no matter the size with their full undivided effort, care, and energy. Every single audience member matters. We exist to piss you off, make you laugh, and fall in love all in one night.

All in one song.
