Waster

WASTER is a heavy metal band based out of Winnipeg Manitoba. The groove is plentiful with this five piece and riffs pile on riffs so high that singer Nick Wiebe has to literally climb the barricade just to get on top of them. WASTER’s songs range from relentless bangers to grimy groove laden beasts. While guitarists Michael Fardoe and Harley Watt keep the guitars thick and grinding, drummer Casey Fiorante and bassist T H round out the bottom end. Since forming in 2010 WASTER have logged countless hours on the road back and forth across Canada playing venues big and small. This dedication to the road has garnered the band national tours with 3 Inches of Blood, Cancer Bats, This is Hell, Barn Burner and The Flatliners. WASTER has also made appearances at Canadian Music Week (2011 & 2012) and played the Sled Island Festival in 2012. Waster recorded a 7 song EP in 2009 (under a different name) and in 2010 started work on their debut full length ‘Thunder Pit’. The albums 10 tracks were recorded by Stu McKillop at Rain City Recorders in Vancouver BC, and the album was released in 2011 on Vancouver Punk imprint Gold Stock Records. The video for ‘Thunder Pit’s’ first single ‘Rocket Rider’ was featured in regular rotation on Much Loud Television helping to grow their already strong national fan base. Anxious to work on some new material, Waster hit the studio in early 2012 to record 2 songs that will be released as a digital EP later this year. Writing is also well underway for their full-length follow up to ‘Thunder Pit’. Plans have been laid to record in early 2013 with Stu McKillop at the helm once again. With tonnes of riffage, a new album on the horizon and gas in the tank, Waster show no signs of slowing down. NEW ALBUM "GRIP OF THE HAND" AVAILABLE MAY 13, 2014.
