About Me

Waking Abbott was formed in mid 2004 by it's members Jake Wilhelm, Adam "Mexico" Robison, Tyler "Panda" Gill, and Pete Foster. The band's primary goal is to develop and create a rightously blended style of ear pleasing melodies with aggressive , face-melting rock n' roll. The band is capable of capturing this eclectic style by meshing influences extending through a variety of genres. Waking Abbott is currently working on the completion of their first full length album. The album will include hard hitting joints from the bands rock collection, but will also feature several selections from their soothing acoustic sessions (these sessions are composed of cello, classical guitar, hand percussion, and of course, the vocal stylings of Jake Wilhelm). The album should be finished in the upcoming summer months.
