Something Is Waiting

Something Is Waiting from Chicago, IL

Skating a line between noise rock and heavy metal, Something Is Waiting is the primary purveyor of its own self-proclaimed genre, "nu roll" – described by Invisible Oranges as "glam-infused noise rock" and by Kerrang! as "the shrieky, sleazy, crust-glam you crave."

Hard, nasty, and weird, Something Is Waiting carves its own strange path, explained accurately by The Chicago Reader with these words: "On their first few releases they focused on big, mean, chaos-bringing noise rock a la Unsane. Over the past few years, though, they’ve charted a new direction, trading in nihilistic bludgeoning for Sunset Strip swagger forged with a sonic sledgehammer of '90s metal... A bizarre hybrid of White Zombie and Guns N’ Roses, pairing high-gloss metallic guitar with [vocalist Eddie] Gobbo’s shrill, confrontational shrieks."
