Biografie : Edgewater

Edgewater are a five-piece alternative rock/hard rock music group from the Dallas, Texas area. The band's style is not aimed to fit into any particular genre. According to drummer Jeremy Rees, "Our music is like our name. It's got that edge to it and it's crunchy and really thick in the hardest places, but the overlays and melodies flow like water over the top."

Edgewater : a singer not in it for show. A drummer called Worm. Two guitarists who seek new socks in every town they visit. And a self proclaimed “outcast guy” for a bassist. Five pieces that don't fit the typical “rockstar” mold— especially when it comes to their innovative sound.
