User:Neloangelo91/We Waited For Days

We Waited For Days is an American Mathcore band formed in South Boston, Virginia in 2010 by Tyler Carter and Jared Crews as part of the New Wave Post Hardcore Movement. They were preceded by acts such as Sharp, Krucible of Souls, and Down Fall. The band has gone through many lineup changes over its 3 year span of activity.

Early Years
The band was first formed in early 2007 after Sixgun Saints, a band featuring Crews (a co-founder of the band) and Carter, along with Luke Ligon and James Humphreys dissolved over a dispute about Ligon's muscle size and tendency to say "siknasty" repeatedly over the course of a practice session. After breaking apart, Carter and Crews pursued their own projects and founded a new band.

Rumors of New Members
In early 2008 the band surfaced again, this time with rumors that drummer James Humphreys and bassist Zack Hutchins had joined the ranks of the band, when a talent show application was submitted featuring the names of Crews, Carter, Humphreys, and Hutchins along with several others (most of which probably had no idea that their names were used). The band was not present at any rehearsals and did not participate in any public showings. These rumors were later dispelled as Humphreys began to attend Governor's School, as his time was dictated by watching Garden State, reading "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," and drinking large amounts of coffee. During this period of time, many members would come and leave the band, with Crews and Carter being the only constants. Notable members during this time include Patty Thompson, James Humphreys, Zack Hutchins, Cody Thomas, and Charlie Holt. In early 2009, guitarist and bassist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez joined the band briefly. There is some speculation on whether or not some of the people listed were ever actually in the band.

We Waited For Days
The current incarnation of the band was formed in 2010 after Carter repeatedly mentioned getting serious about a band. Rumored girl problems and drug addictions were said to have caused this newfound interest. After discussing it with Crews once again, We Waited For Days was formed late on a Wednesday night in April. The band's name comes from guitarist and co-founder Crews's car wreck during which he waited for three days for medical attention to arrive after flipping his car five times off of a rural Brookneal road.

Lyrical Style
Soon after the band was formed, Carter began to write lyrics for the music citing his ability to take something normal and "express it gayly." However after showing the lyrics to Crews for approval, Carter realized they were, in fact, too gay for even himself. After retrieving the lyrics, legend has it that Carter tore the papers up into tiny pieces and disposed of them in several different trash cans in several different locations, ensuring great difficulty in piecing them back together and deciphering the notably gay lyrics involving break ups that never happened and fights that were never actually started.

Musical Style
Carter is known for his jagged and oppressive scream, which he has described as similar to the sound of a rodent dying. Crews has also decribed Carter's vocal tendencies as "horrendously gay." Carter's tendencies on guitar include repeated use of power chords, hammer ons, and excessive radical bends. He also frequently incorporates the falling icicle effect (as made famous by Claudio Sanchez) into places it probably shouldn't go.

Solo Projects
Crews was at one point known to socialize heavily with former-bassist Carl Vendetti. Vendetti, known for his collaborations with "Tubby" Laurel, has been featured in several music videos, most notably "Rose Petals on My Basement Floor" where he plays guitar and is credited as "Carmel Carl." Crews and Vendetti's songwriting escapades usually end with Vendetti explaining how songs he wrote while playing with known doucebag Preston are superior to all other musical endeavors. Carter has also attempted several songwriting ventures most notably with Crews but also with now-douchebag Trey Dunn. Several sessions with Carter and Dunn have been reported but as of now, no progress has been made. Recently, a demo recording of several acoustic songs played by Carter was leaked (perhaps intentionally by Carter himself) to several individuals. There are reports that his solo project may be named "Midnight Static." This is yet to be confirmed by any major press outlets, but it does seem to possess all of the necessary gayness of a band name associated with Carter. Theses demos have been described by the individuals (who are most definately not Carter in disguise), as the "bombshit," and also "some John Mayer kinda shit," among other things.

Departure of Vendetti
Bassist Carl Vendetti left the band late on a Thursday night in April, approximately one day after he was initially included in the band. Vendetti's departure seemed to stem from a hissy fit that was thrown in the vicinity of co-founder Crews. No reports have been made on whether or not Carter will channel Vendetti's departure into yet another overly gay song attempt. The band has also not released an official statement on Vendetti's departure as of now and no word has been made on who will take over bass guitar duties as of yet, but now-douchebag Trey Dunn is said to be the top candidate to replace Vendetti.

Return of Carl Vendetti
Approximately 12 hours after initially leaving the band, bassist Vendetti was allowed to rejoin the band following an apology to Crews.

Band Split
In early August of 2010 rumors circulated that long-defunct band "Breaking the Silence" had since resurfaced. All evidence points to this information being accurate. In a shocking turn of events, new frontman Carter (also of "We Waited For Days" confirmed a line-up featuring himself, fellow WWFD members Trey and Justin Dunn, and bassist Travis Ingram. The members (excluding Ingram) are still actively participating in WWFD efforts and a co-headlining tour featuring the two bands is rumored to be in the works.  Carter left open the possibility of songs also featuring Crews.

Breaking the Silence
Almost a year after the re-formation of the supergroup Breaking the Silence was first leaked to several small underground press outlets, it was reported that the band had re-dissolved following a long period of the member completely forgetting they were all in a band. It is disputed at this time whether or not Justin Dunn is actually still alive, or stuck so far up his girlfriend's ass that he may not legally be considered alive. It is also reported that several days after the supposed reformation, the band members realized that bassist Ingram did not actually even own a bass. We could not reach Carter for a direct comment but a message was left with his secretary at his studio. Some sources say that this may actually just be his mom, and his studio may actually just be his house, but these reports are not confirmed and the reliability of the source is questionable at best.

Re-re-formation of the band
Sources say that on a cold, lonely, November night in Southern Virginia, another supergroup featuring Carter and Crews was born, this time featuring ex-Cursive member Kelsey "B-rony" Deloach, known also by her stage name "Gretta Cohn" or "Bronwyn." This reformed version of the band is said to have abandoned the "We Waited for Days" moniker that Crews was said to suggest to quench Carter's strict bandname guidelines. Sources say that, to Carter's somewhat dismay, the band will not sound like other post-hardcore notables Alexisonfire, as Carter originally intended. However, Carter is reported to try to carry over his imitation of Dallas Green into the new project, which is very likely to sound a lot like former schoolmates, Straylight Run. This band may be the most successful incarnation yet, as Carter has had almost a year of musical inactivity to let his teenage angst build to a boiling point where he may thereby, once again, be able to write overly gay emo lyrics, that may turn out to be some kind of unholy combonation of Underoath and Dashboard confessional. Legend has it that the first journalist to make that comparison immediately vomited due to the potential gayness. The trio are as of yet, still an incomplete band, but notable music magazine Kerrang! has reported that we can expect an EP by the end of the year.
