"Stuart Wills has a strong powerful voice with great presence, and well crafted songs" — Roadworks Music
Powerful and passionate. With his kinetic performances and emotionally charged songs Stuart Wills has earned a well-deserved reputation as a compelling singer/songwriter.
Stuart had tracks included on Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the Squealing Fans In My Tune Evan Dando/Lemonheads tribute CDs. In addition he has had tracks included on Volume 2 and Volume 4 of the At The Forum CDs released by London based indie label $talker Records.
Stuart has collaborated with Jason Applin (ex-Bennet lead singer and current frontman of The Headclub). They have released their first e.p. under the name of The Vending Machine Heart.
Stuart started out in three-piece band Sand in 1996. Sand played their own brand of Indie Rock at venues in and around the Exeter area. In 1998 Sand took on a lead singer and rhythm guitarist and renamed themselves Savalis. Savalis played a more commercial brand of Indie and performed at Exeter venues. Savalis played their last gig at Exeter's Cavern club in 2000.
