MEET ACOUSTIC PUNK POP DUO WATERSDEEP FROM WASHINGTON D.C.

Hailing from Washington D.C., Watersdeep is an acoustic pop punk duo that does not

disappoint. Their story began on the drive back from a show, they had the idea to do acoustic

covers together. They began playing on their college radio station doing live covers of Bring Me

The Horizon, A Day to Remember and Pierce the Veil. Then later on to just hanging out and

jamming with one another and overtime they developed a band name and put out their songs

“Your’re Not Alone” and “Free From You.” Their songs are all about “picking yourself back up

during tough times.” The band says they “write music that people can relate too, and we want

listeners to hear our songs and feel good afterwards.” Members Gabe and John get their

influences from My Chemical Romance, Mayday Parade and Bring Me The Horizon. Gabe says

that Mayday Parade “inspired me to want to write my own music.” For John, “When

“Sempiternal” by Bring Me The Horizon did come out, it started to make me think more deeply

about life and things in general.”But when it comes to the performing, even though it is just two

of them “we still have a lot of energy and interact with our crowd as much as we can.” If you

catch one of their sets, don’t let the acoustic deter you from head banding and moshing, the

band wants everyone to know “Not only do we bring with us the moshing and head-banging, but

John sometimes likes to surprise the crowd with some growls and high screams that you

wouldn’t expect from an acoustic set.” Their EP Sunken Feelings, debuted last December and

they have been working and promoting it every show since. Looking forward for Watersdeep,

they hope to start writing new material for the next album. “We’re planning on recording with a

full band and habing and bit of a heavier sound to it, while still keeping the same style of our first

EP.” To hear some of Waterdeep’s EP Sunken Feelings, check it out the links below.
