In the category “bands nobody has ever heard of: shame, shame!”, we present you the newest EP by Waiting In Vain.
They describe their music as rockmatic pop and mind you, we think the same as you: “Where do they keep getting these names from?”.
From the moment we heard their sound and discovered that they were influenced by the likes of Terminal Choice and Apoptygma Berzerk, we knew exactly what it was all about.
Blasting beats, heavy melodic guitar riffs and a melody you can sing along to. That’s Waiting In Vain in a nutshell.
Since 2003 Tim Köhler and Sebastian Robitzsch have been looking for their perfect sound and on this new EP it seems like they've found it!
This is the follow up of their full album “Leila” and these guys definitely prove that they have something to offer.
Sole thing we didn’t like at all, was that this EP suffers from too many remixes.
Stop this please, we want new songs! Anyway, this EP is definitely a good teaser for what is to follow and another band Peek-A-Boo will keep an eye on.
