Cleveland, OH's W.O.T. is best tagged as a noise or Grindcore band. They are not noise as in those Japanese noise bands that sound like children playing with Tonka trucks in a kitchen. W.O.T. creates noise with instruments giving off a sonic resonance slightly resembling "songs". The instruments of choice are double bass heavy drums, heavily distorted guitar and indecipherable screeching vocals. That's not to say you can peg them that easily, because as soon as you do, they change it up, slow it down, throw in some bass, or even sing. The changes help to give each song a fresh new sound. W.O.T. consists of three members, all of which do vocals, guitar, or drums depending on the song. This results in a lot of instrument changes during shows, which appears to be done to confuse the crowd. The members of W.O.T. have also been in other bands such as Terrorism, Necropsy, Gadfly, Makeshift and Ten Cent Wings. Coincidentally all of these groups have either changed their names or disbanded to try and erase the stigma that comes with being associated with W.O.T. The former members later inhabited North Meadow Park, Feardown and The Paper Street Soap Co. W.O.T. first formed on August 9, 1997. W.O.T. will always have its original three members. The biggest influence on the band is A.C.; others include Weird Al, old Napalm Death and any trendy groups. The last plays the most into the lyrical content, and has led to songs such as "If It Was Up To Me..." and "Korn Chamber." Shortly after
