Bio: I've been singing since I could remember. I started out singing in Choir at church, and performing musical theater in grade school, then high school. In my high school year book it is stated that I was willing to sacrifice myself for the theater, having been stabbed [for real] in the play Rosencr... See Full Bio

“The ballad "The Beating Of Your Heart" contest singer David Reed Watson, who is from LA and from which we will certainly hear more in the near future. Guitar with support Wunderwuzzi Tommy Denander.”

— Walter Thanner, Stormbringer

“The ballad of the album comes from the hand of The Beating Of Your Heart. Denander Tommy's guitar and voice of David Reed Watson magnify a subject long, epic and reminds me a ballad solo discs Bob Catley.”

— Ltxasier, Crîticas Novedades

“These songs have found ideal performers in the faces of Harry Hess, Robert Hart, Danny Vaughn, Ralf Scheepers, David Reed Watson, Matti Alfonzetti.”

— Flight of Pegasus

“The languishing song 'The Beating of Your Heart', where I hear a new rock voice that keeps absolutely as high level as the other star singers on the album. It's David Reed Watson with elegant and confident voice, which leads us through the sensitive and emotional ballad. ”

— Power of Metal

“David REED WATSON, fantastic singer that we rediscover with joy on the ballad The Beating Of Your Heart of which the final solo of guitar is Dantesque and signed of a certain one Tommy DENANDER !!!”

— Métal Intégral

“A superb vocal performance from someone whom we will be hearing lots more from.”

— Metal Music Archives

“Then it's back to the epic feeling, melodic overtures with ‘The Beating Of Your Heart’, another seven minute plus of pure melodic bliss. This time it's David Reed Watson delivering a stunning moving vocal, with the lead guitars of Mr Denander echoing in the background.”

— Mayfair Mall Zine

“Relatively unknown singer David Reed Watson gives an amazingly strong and emotional vocal performance on the power ballad “The Beating Of Your Heart.” It is perhaps the one time on the album where the vocals truly outshine the balance of the band (with the exception of Tommy Denander’s heartfelt guitar solo), and marks Watson as name to watch.”

— HardRock Haven

“One of the great things about working in the music business is all the wonderful people you get to meet, and long-lasting friendships formed. Back in 1995 at Now & Then Records, having put together the band Ten from a Gary Hughes solo project, I have stayed in touch with most of the original members, so it was a great pleasure to help out former Ten keyboardist Ged Rylands with his debut solo project. Bringing in vocalists Harry Hess and Danny Vaughn on several tracks, as well as Kane Roberts to oversee the vocal production in the USA for David Reed Watson, has helped Ged create what will probably be one of this year’s biggest surprises. Imagine an album that successfully blends early Harem Scarem with classic Ten, and with a mix being carried out by Martin Kronlund, this release is sure to raise some eyebrows. So keep an eye out for Rage of Angels, on Escape, later this year.”

— Bruce Mee, Fireworks Magazine

“Charismatic Front man [with] Great Vocal Range. Aggressive Guitar, smooth Drum fills, and new Vocalist [David Reed Watson] make 'tHe CoNStAnT' sound much more memorable than before. These seasoned musicians will breathe new life into the stagnant Los Angeles music scene. 'Papercuts,' off their new album Sometimes Things Just Happen is their first Radio single and is quickly rising in downloads on I tunes & Amazon. This is a band that is worth your time in searching for them on You Tube!!”

— Trevor Blair, The Music Connection
