Sounding unlike any other band of today, Something Is Waiting exudes all the swagger of the latter-day hair metal saints and up-and-coming groove-metal goons who filled Riki Rachtman's cue cards in the earliest days of the '90s, yet seethes with enough vitriol to delight the nihilistic noise rock hordes who gathered to witness its set at this year's Caterwaul Festival. Six years deep, inspired as much by the early works of Ross Robinson as by the most caustic cuts from the AmRep catalog, the band is in a league of its own, the undisputed king of its own genre: "nu roll".
Of the new single, Lambgoat reports: "Flying off the rails like Metalocalypse's Dr. Rockzo on a bender, Something Is Waiting seem steeped in '80s rocker sleaze and swagger, and 'In the Pool (Wetworld)' is destined for MTV's primetime slots of the same anthemic era. That's where the anachronism ends though - the trio clearly have a knack for groove and pristine production that this millennium provides. Guitars crunch loudly, bass is bouncy, drums rollick and punch hard, and the vocals' serrated timbre tops the track off like a bandana across the forehead. Dead to Fall's Jon Hunt helps layer the vocals with his trademark snarl as well. The track's catchiness is its best asset, itself a callback to rock's former glory, but houses a new edge to clash and hold its own in the modern era."
Frontman Eddie Gobbo describes the track as "a summer song... it's a song about day drinking" and states: "Upon seeing Dead To Fall reunite, a band we've always loved, we thought 'Why not see if we can get Jon Hunt on the track?' He immediately said yes. He cut his vocals with me in the studio on a weekend when he flew in for a Chicago Bears game, which makes this extra special for me. What I love about this song is there's a real duet aspect. We're not just piling on and layering each other's vocals. We're dancing around each other. You don't hear that often. Alice Cooper's song with Chris Cornell, 'Stolen Prayer,' comes to mind."
Record release show: Aug 14 - Chicago, IL @ Empty Bottle
