about
Wasting Revolution formed on Lebanon Valley College's campus in the spring of 2004 under the name One Term President. They came together initially to play a set of covers for the college's annual spring arts festival. At the time the band consisted of drummer Scott Broody, guitarists Andrew Gena and Jordan Miller, with Jason Bachman pulling double duty on bass and lead vocals. After a successful show they decided to make the band a more serious priority and added Dave McLaughlin as their bassist, allowing Bachman to devote his efforts exclusively to singing. Shortly before the 2004 presidential election, the guys began to carry out their song writing and live shows under the new name: Wasting Revolution. Early in 2005, Brendan McGeehan joined the group as a jack of all trades player adding his guitar, bass, keyboards, and arrangement and production talents wherever necessary. In the fall of 2004 the guys started writing original material that culminated in the Don't Misunderestimate Us EP. Their songs demonstrate their diverse musical influences, including Muse, Radiohead, U2, mewithoutYou, Bjôrk, and Jeff Buckley, and their work displays a social consciousness inherent in the band. Wasting Revolution's live shows are an emotional mix of rock covers and originals, showing off its creative musical interpretation and songwriting, Bachman's expressive vocals, Miller's skillful lead guitar, and Broody's technically stunning drum technique.
