AMERICA IS WAITING formed in Austin, TX in the summer of 2001 and dispanded in early 2006. Since its conception, the band (featuring ex-members of the defunct indie giant MINERAL) has become well known for its intense and always explosive live shows (Austin Chronicle.) Their sound has been described as a unique fusion of passion and raw energy that creatively blends powerful songwriting with complex instrumentation; often mixing melody with chaos, producing a dramatic result of groundbreaking music. Their sound has been compared to that of At the Drive in. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/America+Is+Waiting">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
