To put it in context, “Waiting For A Miracle” is one outspoken act. The founding members; Joe Villemaire and Matt Barron, hailing from the Burlington, Vermont area, acquired the services of Ben Fine and Chris Parmelee originating from Plattsburgh, New York, forming a solid and tightly knit lineup in early 2005. WFAM llater signed to Hotfoot Records, debuting a self-titled album in April of 2007. With musical influences ranging from pop/rock artists of the 70’s and 80’s to more aggressive and abstract contemporary artists, the band certainly leaves the fan-base demographic wide open for any of those who crave catchy hooks and bodacious jams.
|Shortly after the record’s release and some various touring, a new front man was to come to light and complete the group to it’s fullest musical and operational potential. “Zak Ballard” hailing from the Albany, New York area was definitely the right man for the job. Bringing an edgy, pop vocal aspect to the readily driving, groove fulfilling rhythm section, and melodic, cooperatioanal dual guitar approach. This colorful lineup of musicians and great friends puts “Waiting For A Miracle” comfortably into their own niche that will continue to demand attention and captivate listeners. As time passes “WFAM” keeps pushing forward and working feverishly with one factor in mind - The music will speak for itself, and failure will not be an option. |
