Ditchwater
In April of 2002 vocalist Michael Meadows and guitarist Mark Anderson began their collaboration together. Though the name Ditchwater had been around in various stages a few years before, this was the beginning of the band that is today. The CD Going Forward > Looking Back is the bands first full length release. It is comprised of 11 songs (songs from each of the bands EPs from 2002 to 2005 put together, re-mastered) along with the video for the song Its Over which was shot in 2004 at Chicagos famed Metro in front of 1000 rabid Ditchwater fans. Ditchwater has over 15,000 fans that belong to their MySpace page, averaging 400 to 500 plays a day. They have received positive reviews from all over the world in Magazines and online review publications. Their song Have You Ever was in the top 10 most requested songs on 106.9 FM in Pennsylvania in February of 2006. They have received vast amounts of airplay on other various Major, College, and internet radio stations in the last 3 years. Ditchwater has shared the stage with many National acts including Powerman 5000, Adema, Soil, Mudvayne, Otep. The band has toured the entire Mid-west and gained many loyal followers on the grass roots level. Rounding out the line up are bassist Eamon Skube who joined the group in January of 2003 (Returning in 2006 after a brief hiatus in 2005) and drummer Jason Angone who was recruited into the line up in February of 2005. The plan is to push the CD out to as many people and markets as possible, and play as many cities as they can. While always looking for that big break, they arent ones to sit around just hoping and not doing anything about it. "It's about fucking time that a band isn't afraid to be unique and stand out." The Edge Underground "All in all, Ditchwater should be on a radio station near you after the scourge of emo/screamo/sucko has finally been ridden from this world". 4/5 Pivotal Rage "(Ditchwater) manage to create their own metal niche. These four powerful songs have me thirsting for a full album" 4/5 Rock Is Life Ditchwater
