Something is Waiting

By Sevine E. Levine
Presenting, new supergroup of the Chicago sewers, Something Is Waiting, and the July 22nd release of debut album The Something Is Waiting Band, on The Path Less Traveled Records.

A band of Chicago veterans, Something Is Waiting is fronted by Eddie Gobbo – vocalist of Jar'd Loose and Renaissance man of the Midwest metal scene. On guitar is Pete Grossman, co-owner of Bricktop Recording, the Chicago studio that has churned out recordings by Weekend Nachos, Harm's Way, Dead In The Dirt, and scores more...

Something Is Waiting picks up where Jar'd Loose last left us – The A.V. Club called Jar'd Loose's 2014 album, Turns 13, "a scathing blast of chest-caving fun... a grinding, twisted, dynamic batch of noise-rock anti-anthems full of acidic riffs and The Jesus Lizard-esque bile." Even more stripped-down-raw, the Something Is Waiting sound is deeply grooving and driving, a minimalist vision of classic rock n' roll with a very sinister streak. In Gobbo's words: "Our goal with this band was to write the most aggressive, paranoid music that we could, rooted in garage rock and '70s rock. Today Is The Day meets ZZ Top, if you will."
