Formed in 2004, In The Wake is Bryce Weinberg (vocals, guitar), Michael "Archie" Archibold (lead guitar), Jerrmey Hilton (percussion, drums), Matt Wimberly (bass, vocals).
ITW performs, writes and records original music. With each member of the band having different musical influences the music that ITW writes has a unique sensibility that appeals to a broad audience.
In The Wake's live shows are very high energy, the band demands attention with raw, but refined performances.
"Lead singer Bryce Weinberg's whisper-to-a-roar vocals are always accessible, luring listeners in and carrying them away when the occasion calls for bombast... ...That's true of all of the elements here, including layer upon layer of Beatles-y melodicism in the guitar riffs, which carry enough salt to offset the sweetness." --Danny Alexander, PITCH(KC)
"To experience In The Wake live is to observe their pretention-free transformation from being four super-friendly, approachable guys who will greet you in the crowd and offer you a beer before the show, to the sonic powerhouse they become onstage.... In The Wake is the real deal." -- Aaron Wirtz, The Sunflower News (Wichita State University's newspaper)
"In The Wake plays a jaw dropping set of radio-ready tunes and inspired musical layers. ITW entertains both the ears and the eyes." -- Jedd Beaudoin, F5
"Their brand of rock is a refined one, each song with a personality of its own. Tracks three and four on the split are their auditory boomerang, commanding movement from the listener with a sound that propels the observer around the room." -- Brandon Ellis, Naked City Magazine
