I got hooked on a lot of new bands during quarantine and one of them is Waterparks so I am so excited to have the chance to catch them live on Monday, November 1st at The Fillmore!
Houston-based Waterparks is comprised of lead vocalist and guitarist Awsten Knight, backing vocalist and guitarist Geoff Wigington and drummer Otto Wood. Following a string of three successful EP releases, the trio dropped their much anticipated debut full-length album, Double Dare, in late 2016 via Equal Vision Records. The album was produced by Good Charlotte’s Benji Madden along with Courtney Ballard and the band is managed by The Madden Brother’s Music Media Company, MDDN.co. Cutting their teeth on the Vans Warped Tour circuit and sharing stages with several major forces in the punk/alt-rock scene including the aforementioned Good Charlotte, All Time Low, and Sleeping with Sirens helped fuel Waterparks’ growth stateside. Now the band is causing a stir overseas having sold out 100% of their shows on their first U.K. headlining tour in late September–a full three months in advance of the tour. Recently, the group graced the cover of Rock Sound magazine, and major features in Alternative Press and Kerrang! have quickly followed.
Arrested Youth will be supporting Waterparks on this tour. Hailing from Louisville, KY, Arrested Youth debuted with “My Friends Are Robots” released October, 2017 on Lowly Records. Arrested Youth (Ian Johnson). Johnson grew up in Louisville, Kentucky and began writing lyrics at the age 15. Encouraged by friends and family to turn his lyrics into songs, Johnson released a series of mixtapes and a debut EP that climbed all the way up to iTunes Top 25 pop charts.
