Bio: Using all its musical resources -- intelligent writing, superb musicianship, and skillful self-production -- Those Who Wait comes roaring into the music world with a debut album that is equal parts dark, lovely, introspective indie rock and mathy, catchy mayhem. With hints of the melodic rock stylings of Sunny Day Real Estate and Jimmy Eat World, the textures of experimental rock (ala Mogwai and Radiohead), an intimacy akin to such artists as Nick Drake and Elliott Smith, and a heaviness that has been likened to Hum, Shiner, Cave-in, and Coheed and Cambria, Those Who Wait''s self-titled release offers not only pop sensibility, but explores the many different faces of this Boston trio.
It all began in 2001 with the meeting of singer/songwriter, Michael "Whit" Whitaker, and bassist, Dave Sheaffer, at Berklee College of Music. The two joined forces with drummer Mark Pozzo in 2002. The members'' musical backgrounds were diverse - Dave had recorded and toured Europe with grindcore dazzlers Virulence (Morbid Records); Whit recorded and toured with Escapist, a group consisting of himself and four former members of the renowned hardcore group Drowningman (Revelation Records); and Mark was backline for several locally successful rock outfits.
Audiences quickly took notice. After posting its first demo on https://www.tradebit.com, all 3 songs shot to the Top 10 Alternative Rock list for the Boston area. The song "My Voice Broke" held the number one position the entire summer of 2002. With that success came further touring and recording throughout 2003, and in 2004, Those Who Wait released its self-recorded, mixed, and produced debut album to overwhelming acceptance from reviewers and peers alike.
Over the last two years Those Who Wait has taken its intensely energetic, sonically impressive live performance to some of the most legitimate rock venues throughout the East coast, Midwest, and Canada. They have shared the stage with a number of great and diverse national acts - Silent Drive (Equal Vision Records), Lovedrug (The Militia Group), The Lot Six (Tarantulas Records), Orange Island (Triple Crown Records), The Mercury Program (Tiger Style Records), +/- (Teenbeat Records), Make Believe (members of Joan of Arc/Cap''n Jazz), and Sullivan (Tooth & Nail Records), just to name a few.
It has been a time of experimentation and exploration for Those Who Wait, as well as a time of possibilities being realized and opportunities grasped. Their long-awaited debut album, released on June 1st 2004, embodies the sound of a unique band, gazing towards a unique future.
