The first single ‘Eye's Closed’ off the up and coming album has already received airplay on New Zealand radio stations The Rock and Kiwi FM.
In April 2007 lead singer Nathan Sowter heads over to Sweden to record their debut album with internationally acclaimed producers Pelle Henricsson and Eskil Lovstrom, who have produced artists such as Refused, Poison the Well, Cult of Luna and Blindspott.
Take the Willing’s debut album is entitled ‘Fight Music’ and was released July the 2nd 2007.
