A Shoreline Dream release 'Waiting' on 20th anniversary of debut album + hazy '20' video

October 15, 2026

Iconic Colorado-based postpunk-shoegaze oufit A Shoreline Dream release their 'Waiting' album, a major milestone for the band -- one of Colorado’s longest-running independent music projects -- arriving 20 years since their debut record ‘Avoiding the Consequences’.

'Waiting' looks at that history from a deeply personal perspective. Years spent writing, recording, producing, and refining their music have often meant choosing the demands of the creative process over the conventional milestones of everyday life. They consider what remains when so much of a life has been devoted to making music, and whether the work itself ultimately becomes the legacy.

Formed in 2005 and based in Barnum, Colorado, A Shoreline Dream is now a duo of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Ryan Policky and guitarist Erik Jeffries. For just over two decades, Policky and Jeffries have built a catalog approaching 120 released tracks while developing a sound rooted in shoegaze, psychedelia, post-punk, and expansive guitar-driven experimentation.

"Waiting is what we all do. Waiting for something to happen. Waiting for people to enter and exit our lives. Waiting to see where society will go. In a positive direction or down the tubes. Waiting to see if what we have put our personal efforts into was worth all the time. Since a human life is so short, it becomes the one thing we do the most of," says Ryan Policky.

"I have pondered this since I was a child, and especially in the 20 year life of A Shoreline Dream. Instead of constantly waiting, as I did in the past, I am instead... accelerating, and I think as we all age, that becomes the case for most of us. We want to secure our legacy. Give ourselves purpose. Look towards a brighter tomorrow."

2026 is a prolific period for A Shoreline Dream, rather than just a year of reflection. In February, they released the album ‘To Where They Have Gone’, involving Ridefrontman Mark Gardener. Through A Shoreline Dream's partnership with Shameless Promotion PR, their collaboration with Gardener has lasted the past half-decade, including three tracks and videos on the 'Whitelined' album.

"This album has become an opportunity to not let situations or people dictate personal progress. Not letting a truly broken society break me. Instead, taking those now longer moments of waiting, and turning them into art. Turning them into music. Music that explodes with emotion and tells the story as it is written. Not letting ego or arrogance drive the narrative. Being true to reality, and to the music that has been created that explains it," explains Ryan Policky.

"It's been a blessing to have the time to make two albums happen in one year, and I thank every moment for letting this happen. 'Waiting' has been worth all the time, and I hope the fans love what we've created, and take this very moment to do everything they love doing, with the people they love doing it with.... hopefully listening to these tracks along the way."

Previewed by the singles ‘Legacy’ and '20', ASD reflects upon the road taken while considering the path ahead, The video for '20', starring Julianna Beckert, is a literal hazed-out dream of all the waiting for something or someone to happen. Lost in ups and downs. Emotional states. The visual you were waiting for arrives and it really wasn't there to begin with -- a literal head-on confrontation with time, uncertainty, sacrifice, and the weight of devoting so much of one's life to music.

"The video captures the emotions ready to burst out of any of us at any moment, whether they take place in our dreams or in reality. That dream we search for, which is, for most, a simple desire of having a partner who we can relate to, love, respect and spend our days with, is one of the hardest things to acquire. Julianna is the best I know of conveying emotion and was a perfect fit for the vibe. We made sure, as always, to record the spots we love now but know will be gone forever soon, such as the 8th street bridge, where she traverses along the way through the video," saysRyan Policky.

'Waiting' is a marker of where A Shoreline Dream stands now. Maintaining a creative partnership through changing musical landscapes and an evolving industry, their journey has been full of rewarding achievements. They have worked extensively withUlrich Schnauss and has also collaborated with members ofEngineers, Chapterhouse,Rocket Girl Records, and mastering engineerMark Kramer (Urge Overkill, Bongwater, Shimmy Records).

On October 16th, 'Waiting' is out across digital music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music andBandcamp, released via Latenight Weeknight Records.

Bastion Rose Unleashes Progressive Rock Powerhouse "Waiting"

June 13, 2026

Hot on the heels of their explosive summer releases and performances, cinematic hard rock outfit Bastion Rose is set to release their most technically ambitious and aggressive track to date: "Waiting." Available now, the new single is a masterclass in complex, heavy intensity, marking a towering new chapter in the band's rapidly expanding Blue Rising era.

Drawing undeniable sonic parallels to the intricate, heavy architecture of Tool—a connection made all the more resonant by the band’s previous work with legendary Tool producer David Bottrill on their Traces of Gold and Fade To Blue records—"Waiting" is a sprawling, progressive journey.

The track explores the visceral struggle of self-realization, confronting the internal fires and self-deceptions that keep us trapped.

“'Waiting' is about that terrifying moment when you finally stop projecting your chaos onto the world and realize the fire is actually raging inside your own head,” says frontman Austin Frink. “It’s about the sheer exhaustion of trying to survive, of 'bleeding to come alive' when you feel completely alone. Musically, we needed a sound that was as intense and complex as that internal struggle. This is easily one of the heaviest, most demanding tracks we’ve ever written.”

Bastion Rose are positioning themselves as one of the most formidable emerging acts in heavy music. With recent features in SPIN, Metal Hammer, and Classic Rock Magazine, the band is currently building an undeniable arsenal of material ahead of a highly anticipated 2026 international touring cycle.

"Waiting" is available on all major streaming platforms.

STREAM "WAITING" BELOW:

Based in Bloomington, Indiana, Bastion Rose has emerged as a high-caliber hard rock project born from a pursuit of light within the darkness. Their sound is a sophisticated collision of post-grunge grit and alternative metal intensity, defined by potent, intelligent guitar work, ethereal soundscapes, monumental riffs, and powerful, impassioned vocals and lyrics. It is a sonic identity that caught the attention of three-time Grammy Award-winning producer David Bottrill. Known for his work with legendary visionaries like Tool, Godsmack, Muse, Peter Gabriel, and Rush, Bottrill describes Bastion Rose as a "new embodiment of classic heavy rock... the sounds, the tones, everything. They are reverential to the style of music from the past, bringing it into the modern world."

Bottrill’s involvement provided the blueprint for Bastion Rose’s world-class production standards. From the debut EP Fade To Blue to the full-length powerhouse Traces of Gold, the collaboration resulted in a sound that is both polished and visceral—music that balances the technical, rhythmic intelligence of Tool with the riff-centric, soaring melodic energy of Audioslave. This cinematic depth is not a studio trick; it is a reflection of a journey through hardship. The creative mission is inextricably linked to the personal story of Austin Frink, who navigated a period of staggering loss, including the sudden deaths of both parents and a cancer diagnosis that threatened to permanently silence his singing voice. Frink turned his pain and survival into a universal message. His lyrics explore the heavy themes of existence, hope, and the fleeting nature of life, transforming personal tragedy into a rallying cry for resilience.

The world has taken notice of this ascent. In less than a year, Bastion Rose has experienced a meteoric rise, with a catalog surpassing 1.5 million streams and a global community of 60,000 YouTube subscribers and 36,000 social followers standing behind them. With critical acclaim from industry pillars like SPIN Magazine, Metal Hammer, and Classic Rock Magazine, Bastion Rose has scaled from a studio project into a market-ready force. Striking while the iron is hot, the band is currently unveiling their next prolific chapter: Blue Rising. Spearheaded by the haunting single, "Dust," the record is a philosophical exploration of transience. As Traces of Gold continues to dominate playlists, Blue Rising serves as a clear indicator of the band’s relentless creative pace. For those seeking music that is emotionally resonant and sonically massive, Bastion Rose is the essential melodic voice in the new era of heavy music.

Bury Tomorrow Share Video for New Single "Waiting"

March 14, 2025

Building on a huge touring run that saw the band visit their biggest ever venues across the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, and Japan, Bury Tomorrow look forward to an even bigger 2025, complete with their new album arriving in May. Following the release of dynamic and sonically splintering new singles ("Let Go," "What If I Burn" and "Villain Arc"), the band return to assuage even the most devout metallers with perhaps their heaviest offering to date.

Frontman Dani Winter-Bates explains the sentiment behind the track, sharing, "'Waiting' is about rebirth, the sense of going through the fire to emerge from the other side. Lyrically speaking, it delves into the lowest points of our lives where everything feels weirdly centered around yourself and in some way your misery, whether that's loss, self-loathing, or poor experiences."

He continues to share the sentiment behind releasing perhaps the records heaviest track by saying, "Musically, 'Waiting' is an opportunity to speed things up, make them more visceral more violent. Whilst there have been heavy singles released so far like 'Villain Arc,' this one will feel heavier to many. There's something slightly more modern about its sound and it's routed around rhythm and cadence, with a clear aim to hopefully move people as the song progresses."

Watch the video below:

Following the release of the track, the band gets ready to head stateside for a month-long, North American co-headliner with While She Sleeps. Due to a full run sellout, the band also add a date at Przym, Kingston with Banquet Records on May 17.

For Bury Tomorrow, the last two years have been about trying to fill the space where they knew something was missing.

From the depths of uncertainty, through line-up changes and COVID-inspired roadblocks, the arrival of guitarist Ed Hartwell and keyboardist/vocalist Tom Prendergast and the creation of 2023's The Seventh Sun has allowed them to lay out a whole new path of possibilities that felt unavailable before. Now, with an invigorated belief and fresh outlook on what the band can encompass, they present Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience, their most fantastically visceral offering to date.

Crafted more intimately and intricately than ever before by internalising every aspect of the writing process, with Carl Brown [Sleep Token, Bullet For My Valentine, While She Sleeps] manning production duties for the first time, the result is a profoundly personal, extraordinarily expansive and punishingly grand display of cathartic craftsmanship.

Born from a shared sense of frustration in feeling an ever-shifting disconnect from the state of modern society, the band have created an earnest, heart-wrenching and definitive look at the overlapping effects of brutal self-sabotage, crippling anxiety, fierce despondency and the never-ending search for peace and clarity in a world so full of noise. It is a record about division as much as togetherness, an outpouring of personal devastation but a hopeful reminder that we are all navigating it together.

“To haunt is to revisit or recur persistently to the consciousness of someone or something,” explains guitarist, Kristan Dawson. "There’s beauty in that commitment somewhat. In a world full of distraction, discourse, instancy and demand, patience seems hard to attain. In patience there is peace, one thing society is short of. The title serves as a call of reflection, relying on the present moment, remembering what truly matters. I think the notion of patience being haunting is quite a contrast and that’s certainly reflective of the album musically.”

Within such deep sonic exploration and shared emotional understanding, and despite its bleak outlook on things, Will You Haunt Me With That Same Patience still strives to represent that lingering presence, that hope, that reminds us that this isn't the be-all and end-all of this existence. That things can change for the better, just like we can change for the better with it, and persevering through such separation will bring us back around eventually. We just have to weather the storm and trust in that feeling to pull us through.

To have allowed themselves the time and space to reach this point of comfort and confidence now feels like a starting point for everything that the band will do in the future. Expanding their empire in all corners of the world and delivering their biggest statement of intent to date is the beginning of a whole new chapter in the story of one of the most devastating and dedicated assets to British heavy music.

Thursday reissue debut album 'Waiting' via Velocity Records

May 30, 2021

THURSDAY REISSUE DEBUT ALBUM WAITING
THROUGH VELOCITY RECORDS
AVAILABLE ON VINYL AND STREAMING SERVICES NOW

STREAM & PURCHASE WAITING

May 27, 2021 - The legendary post-hardcore group, Thursday, are in the midst of a year of landmark anniversaries, including the twentieth anniversary of their breakout album Full Collapse and the tenth anniversary of their last release No Devolución. However, today the band released the long-awaited reissue of their 1999 full-length, Waiting. The always-coveted debut album has been long out of print until now, available on vinyl and streaming services through Velocity Records, the newly relaunched label in partnership with Equal Vision Records.

Speaking on the band’s debut effort, vocalist Geoff Rickly says:
“Most people think 'Full Collapse' is our first album but twenty two years ago, we took a bunch of demos out of the basement where we’d been writing and holding shows, and put them all together in one place to make our debut album, 'Waiting'. A lot has changed in those intervening years—- the record has gone out of print several times— but every single time I listen to this record, I can hear the start of Thursday, I can hear our hopes and dreams and all the ideas that would define the band, starting to take shape.”

Thursday teased the reissue in the lead-up to their Signals V3 - Full Devolución livestream event by offering a limited edition vinyl variant alongside tickets, which sold out immediately upon release. Waitingis now widely available to stream and to preorder on vinyl here.

The Nomadic has released their latest single titled "Waiting" to all digital outlets

May 11, 2020

Download, stream, share and add 'Waiting' to all your favorite playlists - https://song.link/i/1506277448 Music Video by Steven Nathan @nathanonearth

Australian guitarist and singer/songwriter Robert Gaylard brings a unique perspective and vision when it comes to creating music. His inspiration and passion for starting The Nomadic began early on as a child after traveling to many countries like Myanmar (formerly Burma), Singapore and the Solomon Islands. His “nomadic” lifestyle continued on into his adulthood when he began to work for the United Nations in various countries such as: Kenya, Somalia, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Israel and Palestine. His travels eventually brought him to New York in September of 2012 and motivated him to pursue his songwriting by establishing an indie rock band.

In the year 2019, Rob took a one year leave of absence from the UN to follow his musical passion and focus specifically on songwriting and live performance. The Nomadic released its debut single “Drifting” on the 2nd of September in 2019, and is set to release a series of songs including: “Waiting,” “Manhattan View,” “Walk the Streets,” “Beyond Blue,” “Grand Mistakes”and “Under a Georgia Sky.” Influenced by artists like Oasis, Coldplay, Radiohead, The Verveand Bruce Springsteen, The Nomadic produces a sound genre like no other as alternative rock meets blues with hints of Americana and pop.

The single “Waiting,” is about the concept of waiting around for people or something in general at airports, rail stations, ports, cafes, restaurants, and bars. Human beings always seem to be biding time for someone in one way or another, or waiting for their true potential and selves to be realized. Whether that hanging around involves waiting for someone to arrive at a destination or simply to make a decision about a situation. While we spend most of our time waiting on things to happen we are also discovering who our true selves are and what our actual potential is as well as how to achieve it. "Waiting" is a tribute to the magic of New York and it's “LIC port,” “Prospect Park,” “Grand Central Clock and Information Booth” and “rail tracks with a New York view.”

Having been originally influenced by numerous cultures and ways of life, The Nomadic promotes and advocates for issues of social action and innovation, human rights, support for minorities, as well as doing the next right thing, including the idea that it is never too late, including for people to follow their dreams and passions.

Upcoming Shows:
July 25 with Dont Believe in Ghosts @knittingfactory Brooklyn NY.

"Drifting" released Sept 2, 2019.
