Willafonz is currently in the studio recording material for their upcoming debut album. Preview clips, titled "Underground Sessions I", are available online on the band's Facebook and Myspace pages, and are giving fans a brief glimpse into the tracks that are being worked on. "Dulche Incident Greys" is a moving track, with soulful guitar and smooth rolling drums. BlueBomb Attack! has a "Creep groove to it, with the eerie yet melodic guitar. I'm really diggin it." says Fonz. The band has yet to announce a release date for the album.

In 2006, Willafonz initially started as a guitar duo with a rhythm and lead guitar. Coming from diverse and versatile musical backgrounds helped the duo form a strong foundation on which to build music. In late 2008, the band decided to add drums to the equation, bringing a totally fresh and dynamic sound that was previously unheard. During this time Willafonz played several shows at The Whiskey Lounge, including the October 22nd, 2009 ROCKtober Fest, and "The 90's Tribute/Benefit Show" at Billy's Lounge in East town. "Willafonz knows how to rock the house and throw a party!" says Whiskey Willie, manager of the Whiskey Lounge. Having had a string of many successful shows, Willafonz took some time off to write new material, and get into the studio.
