From River North, Chicago, comes the earth-shaking, lightning-strike rock n' roll of Something Is Waiting's sophomore album, Songs for the Sally Beauty Pavilion.
The album is scheduled for a March 29th release on Learning Curve Records.
On Songs for the Sally Beauty Pavilion (the follow-up to 2017 debut The Something Is Waiting Band), the quintet comes out, guns blazing – like Unsane covering "Too Fast for Love," or a juiced-up reincarnation of the early, pre-major label phase of White Zombie, this is urban scum-rock grasping toward a fantasy of LA sleaze.
Like frontman Eddie Gobbo's previous band, Jar'd Loose, Something Is Waiting stands way out from its peers. Most "extreme" bands actually play it quite safe, adhering to strains of extremity that are already deemed to be cool and acceptable. Something Is Waiting waves ten middle fingers at all such safety, opting instead to make the weirdest, most hard-rocking album of 2019.
Massive, pounding backbeats propel sinister, bluesy riffage, while one of the baddest voices in all of music snarls like Axl at its most pissed, spitting out lyrics that dismantle his various targets, viciously yet poetically. Music scene foibles and other cultural trash fires are the focus of many songs – soulless retro fashions, delusional cover bands, and more. Gobbo is a wordsmith but, make no mistake, he is singing literally and directly about the issues on his mind. When he sings about "Nikki Lane's Neo Nashville Airbnb," he is singing about the time he stayed at Nikki Lane's Airbnb in Nashville.
Songs for the Sally Beauty Pavilion was recorded and mixed by Something Is Waiting guitarist Pete Grossmann at his own Bricktop Recording (Weekend Nachos, Like Rats) in Chicago, and mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Today Is The Day).
Tracklist:
1) Your Vintage Nu Rock Band
2) Lost in Space
3) Fuck in Peace
4) Nikki Lane's Neo Nashville Airbnb
5) Fresh Squeezed
6) Work Husband
7) (We're in a) Tribute Band
8) I Collect Stamps
Lineup:
Eddie Gobbo - vocals
Pete Grossmann - guitar
William Thomas Fay - guitar
Eddie Limperis - bass, vocals
Idin Alexzander - drums

Chat pile c’est une cuillère à soupe de Sonic Youth, une pincée de Ministry, une cuillère à café de Joy Division et le résultat est très très bon !!

This is pretty much a perfect noise rock record, worshiping at the Church of Jesus Lizard, but with its own flavor of punishment, more calculated and bludgeoning than Yow and co. The riffs are all killer, no filler. I'm sad that this is the last hurrah for this band, but at least it ended on this very high note. Buildings is dead, long live Buildings! fyeahmetal
