Rooted in pop punk, At The Wayside take their major influence from bands like blink-182, Four Year Strong, Switchfoot, Hit The Lights & A Day To Remember. Combining catchy vocal melodies with guitar hooks driven to satisfy even the most metal of fans, while catering to the ears of pop & rock listeners alike. Though a form of the band had existed for a number of years, their lineup of guitarists/vocalists Phil Carper & Matt Berg, and drummer Gabe Wendt was solidified in July of 2012. Two months later, their debut Self-Titled album was released on Red Cord Records. Accepted with positive reviews all around, the 10-song record is filled with energetic and ambitious guitars, heavy hitting drums, passionate lyrics focused on improvement of self and spiritual surrender, and melodies that won’t leave your head for days. The band set out on tour in January of 2013, went back into the studio, releasing their single “Thanks To You” online and on analog radio across the country, and has since taken the stage at Lifelight Festival, Hills Alive Festival, along with crowd packing shows in cities all over the US. At The Wayside is set to record their next full-length record at the start of 2014, and with nothing but their drive, ambition and unwillingness to waver, their sophomore effort promises to impact their fans and new listeners on an even larger scale. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/At+The+Wayside">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
