Recorded at a headlining show at the famed Empty Bottle in Chicago, Livelick captures one entire Something Is Waiting set, start to finish, with no edits or overdubs. Skating a line between Guns N' Roses, Pantera, and Unsane, Something Is Waiting has been described by The Chicago Reader as "Sunset Strip swagger forged with a sonic sledgehammer of ‘90s metal" and by Kerrang! as "the shrieky, sleazy crust-glam you crave." Frontman Eddie Gobbo is a wildly creative lyricist who conjures surreal scenarios with the euphoric wordplay of a Beat poet. Rarely does a band so strange, rock so hard.

"Something Is Waiting don’t play it safe. The Chicago trio’s idea of a 2025 statement isn’t another studio single or flashy short-form clip — it’s a full-on live album, recorded without overdubs at the Empty Bottle and dropped like a brick through the windshield of our content-saturated world. Livelick documents the band as they are: raw, nasty, and locked in."

"[Livelick] features the band at their rawest and heaviest, dishing out one sledgehammer tune after another. It showcases SIW kicking out the jams to a hometown crowd, at a headlining gig, at the Empty Bottle in Chicago in 2023... One beautiful racket that mixes in their disparate influences of noise rock and sleaze rock. (Other publications have come up with pretty creative ways to describe their sound. I’m throwing my hat in that ring. I’m calling it 'Noise Rock & Roll,' NR&R.)"

"Glam metal swagger... run through a noise rock Killdozer filter."

"Hard, nasty, and weird, Something Is Waiting carves its own strange path."
