WAYTER

Press Quotes
"Most denitely a band to watch: there's so much potential here it's almost suffocating...this is an album that deserves to be heard." "the band weaves virtually all the essential elements of the Nineties into a simultaneously familiar and forward-thinking album that, while not immediately accessible, will gradually seep into the subconscious. There are recognisable elements of grunge, shoegaze, proto-post-rockers Slint, indie rock and whatever other genre pigeonholing was popular twenty years ago. However, Wayter have succeeded where so many others have failed: Feeding Time doesn't sound like it belongs in the era from which the band has taken so many of their sonic cues. Wayter have their own sound and, eclectic as their various muses may be, it works...Wayter's approach to songwriting and performance: dangerous, impassioned and edgy but without ever losing control." 7/10 -Michael Brown, Drowned in Sound Bike Crash literally shook me to the core halfway through with the sheer heaviness of the guitars and drums and the emotional, screaming vocals. 7/10 -Paul Cousens, Punk Rock Ist Nicht Tot

expertly crafted drums that either roll into each other with an almost Jazz like work ethic, or display a primal urge to forcefully bang on something -Slavko Bucifal, The Line of Best Fit Sure, all the alt-kids know how to put together quirky time signatures and swirly soundscapes but only a few can put them together to form songs with grace and bite. Wayter are one of those bands" KKKK -Paul Travers, Kerrang! "despite all this record's experimentalism, discordant riffage and noise breaks; it never at any moment alienates or displays any kind of pretence. It just keeps on surprising and amazing...chiming guitars and tempestuous melodies, but not before it's dumped a load of slack-wristed open chord guitar sludge in our ears and reached an almost wall of sound level of epicness" 9/10 -Alex Nelson, Subba-cultcha.com "Exploring math-rock time signatures, distorting and messing with melody and in general making quite a racket, tracks like the gloriously downbeat 'Pilot Turtle' come across like a more vicious Sonic Youth..effortlessly creating passionate noise yet never losing

sight of their tuneful backbone, Wayter have come up with a formidable debut album" 8/10 -Freddy Palmer, The Digital Fix "Rapidly becoming Alt. Rock Heroes" - Classic Rock Magazine (online) "Wayter remind me of the incredible Rapider Than Horsepower, and so instantly get a big thumbs upan incredibly promisingoutt. Mixing a oaty vocal style with gentle rolling guitar riffs, Wayter have managed to bring together something of what the Smashing Pumpkins sounded like with their musical genius of Gish, whilst not smacking as overly wanky " -ArtRocker! "this debut introduces us to a band who aren't nding their feet but know exactly where they stand, producing a clean, established and dened sound..swathed in eloquent layers of soft, atmospheric melodies..with intricate guitar and a quiet, unfurling turbulence that slowly builds up under the textured sounds.. a sprawl of complex guitar passages, that accompanied by singer Eddie's driving shouts produces a darker, more progressive sound, and nal track Marco Polo continues very

much in the same vein, with a lurching yet established presence, verifying Wayter's signature sound." -Amelia's Magazine "Artful but never pretentious, loud but not noisy, melodic but never obvious " "Every now and then a band will emerge from the musical underground fully-formed and excitingly fresh, with a drive and craft that astonishes in its professionalism. Wayter is one such band" "a heartstopping melange of cathartic guitar lines and distant chanting. As its last notes fade its almost impossible for the listener not to press play and repeat the whole process once more. Its that kind of release." -The Silent Ballet " post-rock, nothing obvious though, just intelligent warmth and a new band wishing to challenge themselves as well as you and me. Slint-edged intelligent colourful accomplished alternative indie other rock, four impressive tracks and a quiet intensity, a calm storm of inviting ambitious warmth. Brooding gentle goodness and screams oating down on the big breeze" -Organ Magazine
