REVIEW: William Control – Skeleton Strings

April 3rd, 2013 Grace Duffy

Artist: William Control
Album: Skeleton Strings
Genre: Acoustic
Label: Control Records

When I was in first year of college, my two roomies and I were unceremoniously evicted from our flat. That’s a long story for another day, but I remember that the thing that most amused me in hindsight was the notion of how the council people would have reacted to the giant poster of Wil Francis in my room. It was from Aidan’s early days so it was suitably ghoulish and mad-looking, and suited the extremities of wardrobe and make-up I was into at the time. Now, several years …

MUSIC VIDEO: William Control – “The Velvet Warms And Binds” (NSFW)

March 15th, 2013 Adrian Garza

William Control has released a music video for “The Velvet Warms And Binds”, a track off of the Aiden frontman’s 2012 full length, Silentium Amoris.

There’s nothing bland or plain about William Control’s personal brand, and with that said, you could imagine one of his music videos to be as bizarre and graphic as it gets… so then double that, and that’s what you have with “The Velvet Warms And Binds”.

James Shotwell sat down with Mr. Control in late January for an interview, and that could be found right here. Also, must we remind that this is …

UTG INTERVIEW: William Control

January 31st, 2013 James Shotwell

There are a select few in this alternative music community who truly spend every waking second trying to develop fresh ideas to share with curious ears. Sometimes their efforts fail, sure, but in our book a disastrous experiment is better than a monotonous retread of familiar sonic territory any day of the week.

Of those who consistently work to find new ways to express their creativity, William Francis stands out as someone who, for better or worse, has experienced it all. From teen years plagued with crime and drug abuse, to rising through the underground ranks and signing his first …

March 15th, 2012 James Shotwell

In the decade that has past since he first broke unto the national music scene with Aiden’s Nightmare Anatomy, Wil Francis has been a symbol of fighting the mainstream and pushing oneself to progress beyond what others expect. His solo project, William Control, is no different.

This April, William Control will release Silentium Amoris…
