   About Backwater
Greetings! Back-Water can’t be easily defined, so why even try? Where’s the fun in that? The story of Back-Water is something of a short one. Before its official creation the band had been friends, over the summer who found mutual love in music and alchohol. Jamming around in October it presented itself in November 2006. Swirling from Hartlepool, together Reuben (guitar/vocals), Andy 'Mitch' Kim (drums) and Thrasher (bass) have created a sound both unique and creative yet catchy and addictive. As each member brings a different perspective to the music. Back-Water see the underground music scene as something that’s becoming stagnant at times because of the amount of mainstream sound and corporate music in there.

"Don't Leave Me Dead" EP is here available to order or at gigs.

We also have the "Disappear" single, available to order.
