We are now an independent band and will be releasing our music for free! We had a great run with Molotov Records but with it not being able to find a new owner we decided to take the indie route. Because music should be free to the public and shouldn't have to deal with corporate bullshit. I respect the label our band was on and I respect the labels my band Fear were on but I feel as if music should be free no matter what. So we have released a new album[Red Sky Season] and we want to share it with you all! You can download it here! We plan to extend our tour dates beyond to fall so look out for that!

About Us:
The Waiting Room have now released six successful studio albums. On its new release "Red Sky Season" the band went back to basics of a fast-pace progressive rock record with producer John Smith. Now the sound isn't a downgrade from it's previous album because on this album they really step it up. The album was written during soundcheck while the band were on tour and was heavily influenced by bands of the like of At The Drive-In, and other local post-hardcore bands from New York. The first single "Republica" is the bands most successful single to date and the album is already selling to be it's highest selling album yet. The band plan to tour all summer long and even in the fall. They plan to follow the release with a 4-disc B-Sides album which they have put on hold for months now and have so many B-Sides so they decided to put it out in the best way possible all together at once. Paul Reeves and Logan Spills have grown into some incredible song writers since their days in Fear and they claim this is only the beginning for the band.

The Waiting Room Is:
Paul Reeves - Vocals, Growl, Guitars
Logan Spills - Back Up Vocals, Keyboard
Frank Albern - Drums
Donnavon Rich: Bassist, Back Up Vocals
Will Dawn: Rythm Guitarist, Vocals

John Smith speaks on the new band.

"So like that demo that leaked out that everyone thought was a new Casting Thin Shadows song was really one of our songs. It was a demo of "The Savior". This new band is by far one of the best things I've done musically. I can't compare it to In The Arms Of Sleep, and I can't compare it to Casting Thin Shadows. This is a whole different approach to music than what I did in those two bands. I look back at In The Arms Of Sleep more as my solo career. I recorded all the instruments and produced all of the albums. I hired a live band to support me and that was it. But now this? I only recorded the lead guitar, vocals, and keyboard. Paul recorded the drums and 2nd lead guitar while Marcy recorded the rythm and bass. Some titles don't have nothing to do with the lyrics in our songs. The song writing process for this was pretty easy and really fun. First we would just get Marcy to do some power chords or something than Paul and I would come in with the lead. After that we would throw in the bass than the drums, after that some keyboard shit and than we would go back and fix it up to full potential if it needed it. I hate comparing my bands to other bands so I'm just gonna say we are loud, and we bring the noise! We have some kick ass melodies and we can't wait for everyone to hear this. We have decided that the first single from the album will be "Hospital Beds". It's awesome ass song. We will also be announcing some dates soon. I'd also like to say Marcy is still working on his debut solo album and Paul is thinking about making one more solo album he isn't sure. As for me? In The Arms Of Sleep will return. I just don't know when, I had a new album planned but than I changed my mind and made this record. But there will be a new one. That double album really put us on the map and I feel like I have recorded some of my best work but I'm challenging myself to make music that tops that. Also some of this album has some electronica sound to it. Like the song titled Porn. It's an interlude in the record, it's not an instrumental piece of muisc it's just a very experimental sounding song. With nothing but a techno sound feel to it. With keyboards, snyths, and drum machines it's awesome. The album closer was going to be an all acoustic song but we decided that we wanted to make a very epic song so we did that instead."

Just leaving another message to thank you guys for signing with us, and that if you need anything or have any suggestions you can contact us.
Oh, and don't forget to keep us informed with all your releases and such. Good luck with the career!

-Fat Chance [The Prisoners/Vice-President of Molotov Records]

A world tour has been announced. We will be opening for The Prisoners on their final tour. Also the name of the album has been changed to "Burned Out, And Fading Away". It will be out May 10th. We will be announcing a US tour and a UK tour soon.

We hate to do this but it's better to do this then pulling out of our world tour with The Prisoners.

Members John Smith, Marcy Smith, and Dante Holmes will be pulling out of the tour after August 10th due to their original band heading into the studio to finish recording a 14th studio album and doing a farewell tour for their band Casting Thin Shadows. So we will be looking for touring muscians to replace them. They will return to the band though after CTS are done touring but that won't be until April. So it is uncertain if they will be recording with the next album. They will always have a welcome place here though. I will be taking up lead vocals for this tour. I hope you all can understand.
-Paul Reeves

People who have been wondering if we are going to replace John, Marcy, and Dante we're not. We will have touring members for their spots but other then that this band is now a trio.

Onto how this album will sound. It's post-harcore. Filled with solos, melodies, groovey bass lines, kick you in the face guitar riffs, screaming, soft vocals, hard vocals, emotional, and we all did this having fun. First single will be out in June. This is taking a while because we aren't done mixing the album. More news later on a warm up US tour.

New line-up, new album.

New Album Title: The Waiting Room
Tracklist:
01. The Blame Game
02. Hospital Beds

Detail: Recorded with a new line-up. The parts John, Marcy, and Dante put in on the songs that were gonna be on the first album we announced are still there and will get credit for it. John's vocals he did for "Hospital Beds", "The Savior", "The Blame Game" are all still there. The album is really a mixture of post-hardcore, techno, and math-core. We are sorry that we've changed this so many times but this album will be out in July.
