This Waking Moment

HQ: Charlotte, NC NOW PLAYING: Say It Loud, Make It Known EP THE STORY SO FAR: This Waking Moment have experienced plenty of growing pains since forming in 2003 as juniors in high school. Member changes (including losing original vocalist Justin Petty this past December) are one thing. Choosing between post-hardcore and poppier rock is another. "We originally started out playing heavier music, but always had poppy influences," says guitarist/vocalist Garrett Leister. "We made the decision to break away from the hardcore scene that we felt was dragging us down." WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW 'EM: TWM have hit up Warped Tour twice ('05 and '07) and shared the stage with From Autumn To Ashes and Hopesfall. With their EP, the band also feel they're avoiding clichés. "We're a fairly young band and often listeners feel that young bands struggle with immaturity in their music," says Leister. "We believe we do not fit this stereotype. We are fun dudes who play honest music, and [bassist] Cam McLean's ears destroy all on stage." [RL] YOU LIKE?
