Bio - The Waking was signed in the fall of 2006 by Chicago Indie label Wuli Records. The label was started by Lou Svitek of Ministry, Mindfunk & MOD glory. The debut release "Blue Screen" is available now at cdbaby.com/cd/thewaking.

The Waking was formed in early 2004 when John K recruited Kurt Preus to fill in for a couple shows for his falling-apart band. After the shows were complete they just never stopped jammin. It took some time to complete and solidify the rest of the line-up. Eventually Mike Wooly and Pat Neary became the missing pieces. In May of 2007 Kurt left the band and Tom Bruzan was brought in to complete the line up.

The Waking are featured on a internationally distributed paintball DVD ( episode 42) through Traumahead Sportz, which can be viewed at traumaheadsportz.com and have also been featured on a DVD release by DERDER (www.derder.com).

The Waking have recieved many great reviews and work hard to create the best music they are capable of. With many dynamics attributing to their writing style there are few boundaries. "All bands say they are the best live band around, we just try to have a good time and assure that everyone who comes out to see us also has a good time."

Their debut release is "Sorry" and the video was produced by famed director Frankie Nasso.
