About Headrush
Headrush is a rock band choked to the point of strangulation with melodies, backed by razor sharp guitars, blood-pumping bass and heart-stopping drums that grab listeners on the first note and locks the music into memory. When they take the stage the energy is high and the songs hit you like a musical hammer. They scream at you one minute, and then leave you trying to catch your breath for what comes next. Headrush is led by charismatic frontman Waymon Boone, formerly of Splender, whose debut Half Way Down The Sky included the hit singles ("I Think God Can Explain" and "Yeah, Whatever") on Columbia Records. Boone's dynamic vocals and emotional lyrics create the songs that are the driving force behind the band. "It all started with the songs and then became something more," says Boone. The music is real and intense. Lyrically, I don't think I could have been anymore truthful about how I feel about my place in the world if I tried." Joining Boone is the dynamic, young rhythm section of drummer Matt Clark, whose intense, aggressive playing heats the music to a boiling point and sonically stunning bassist Allison Johnson, takes the sound over the edge with her relentless raw energy and timeless talent she displays live on stage as well as in the studio. In the spirit of self-sufficiency Headrush recorded their debut album, "Weight of the Water in their own studio in their hometown, Sacramento, California. Boone produced, engineered and recorded the album and says, "We recorded this entire record in a small bedroom, on our own in Sacramento with no deadlines, no one looking over our shoulder and for a rock band it doesn't really get more real than that." The band also brought in world-renowned mixer, Mike Shipley (Green Day, Aerosmith, Nickelback). Shipley had worked with previously on a Splender album and was excited for him part of this new adventure. "Mike Shipley is a great person, an amazing mixer with a great ear and I couldn't have asked for a better person to work on this record with us, says Boone. Along with countless hours in the studio, Headrush also developed a stage presence that is both aurally and visually exciting. They have played shows throughout the West and played in historic venues such as The Viper Room and the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles and Slim's in San Francisco, and SXSW in Austin, Texas.
