Wake, a triad of locals, appears to be a band on the rise, without having to fit into a musically categorized box...(Wake)consists of best friends. No doubt this bond both on and off stage and their seasoned experience performing with one another contributes to how well three individuals can come together to create one bold and balanced sound...I was not able to get in a live review, but any group that manages to contain that much energy and vitality in a CD is definitely worth seeking out on stage.

One of the hottest new bands to explode on the Springfield Scene is Wake...Wake's Springfield debut raised quite a few eyebrows. They placed third out of dozens of Springfield's local bands at the Seagrams 7 Battle of the Bands. It was there that they met current manager Matt Bentley who in turn quickly opened doors for the new band in town...Since then, Wake has become one of the most talked about band's in the area.

One aspect of Wake that most new fans notice is the lack of a drummer. Two drum machines bring beats programmed by all three members of the band...As complex as those beats are, Wake's overall sound is even more so. The band has successfully dogged all labels like rapcore, numetal, and industrial metal with their unique style of music...Wake has logged numerous gigs since their Springfield debut with POOR MANS VISION, SO FAR GONE, PHUNK JUNKEEZ and the
KOTTONMOUTH KINGS...

After getting established and recieving a comfortable place in the local scene, Wake felt it was time to get a full length album to the masses. The band sat down and recorded the album in a July session that lasted three days. At the controls were Will Pepple, who produced Wake's EP "Stumble Regard", and Juke Joint soundman Kyle "Dad" Chirnside...Wake sighted the track "Sithory" from the album, entitled "BIG LIKE ME", as the potential radio single because of it's riffs and recognizable intro.
