The new video below features an unedited track-by-track discussion of Bill Ward's Accountable Beasts album. The interview was conducted by Mike Stark for LA Radio Sessions on June 13th.
During the interview, Stark comments on Bill Ward’s “new energy”. Bill explains: “I think it’s just everything going on, you know, we’ve kept it a secret - it keeps leaking a little bit, but you know I have a new rock trio as well. And so, we can’t officially say anything about it but after this interview I’m on my way to rehearse with them. We’re in the studio starting Monday (June 15th) recording a brand new album with the rock trio, besides BWB (Bill Ward Band). So, yours truly, I was kicking ass… I played drums for eight hours yesterday. I mean seriously, I’m getting down and just fucking playing.”
Ward has released his first solo album in 18 years called Accountable Beasts, on iTunes. The CD features Ward's drumming on seven of the album's nine tracks, as well as contributions from his longtime collaborators Keith Lynch (guitar, keyboards), Paul Ill (bass) and Ronnie Ciago (drums), along with drummer Walter Earl and an array of session singers, including Ward's daughter Emily.

“Leaf Killers”
“Accountable Beasts”
“Katastrophic World”
“D.O.T.H.”
