About Me

Please check out a couple other tracks from our debut album at:
www.purevolume.com/waitingforroger
The world needed a band of people not posing as anything other than a band. It is of no particular style save melodic. It does not really sound like any band in particular, but is not really incredibly unusual either. Lots of dynamics are present in the sound. Interesting complex writing available on demand. Introspective lyrics, always.
It is an amalgam of five very different personalities. Each facet offering a different reflection of the same light. You inherently must be able to relate to at least one of the ideologies. Foremost the music is tight and aurally sound with excellent instrumental tones and ideas. People like it because it is special. It is interesting. Nothing recycled or reused. No fucking stigma. No fucking correlations.
More musical writers should take their influence and be inspired to diversify rather than aspire to achieve similarity. Mimickry is an excellent show of flattery, but also of creative mundanity.
