Edgewater Set To Release New Album August 22

"ROCK IS NOT DEAD"

EDGEWATER PROVES THEIR POINT WITH THE AUGUST 22 RELEASE
OF THEIR FOURTH ALBUM, 'WE'RE NOT ROBOTS.';

SINGLE "CAUGHT IN THE MOMENT" IMPACTING RADIO JUNE 27

"We're just trying to find that something new we can be
proud of.  We are not robots--and rock is not dead."

Those are the insightful and profound words of singer Matt Moseman about
EDGEWATER, whose aptly titled fourth album, WE'RE NOT ROBOTS., is due out
August 22 on Forevergreen Records (licensed to Rock Ridge Music with
distribution by ADA).

From the innovative first single "Caught In The Moment" with its cheerleader
refrain to the anthemic "Get It Right" and in-your-face "Rock Is Dead,"
WE'RE NOT ROBOTS. is a powerful statement of defiance for a band that
refuses to compromise.  "Caught In the Moment" is being serviced to radio on
June 27 although some stations are already spinning it.

As it often happens in the music business, record labels try to convince
musicians to change their sound to match the ever-changing tastes of the
record buying public, even if it's against the artists' vision.  Sometimes
it works to the artist's advantage, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it's
best to agree to disagree and part ways if the same vision isn't shared by
all.

Such is the case with the Dallas, TX band.  When an executive at its
previous record company told EDGEWATER that they needed to change because
"rock is dead," the band walked away. 

"We will be what we want to be," says a steadfast Matt Moseman.  "We're a
rock band!  We're not circus monkeys on a chain.  Fame and glory isn't what
we're after.  This is our life.  We have to be able to say 'yes' to 'Is this
going to make me feel proud of what I do?' Wind-Up Records gave us an
opportunity, fueled the fire and taught us a lot.  We just ended up on
different pages.  Now I can't wait to see what our future holds.  We're
going to keep creating, changing and hopefully gaining fans.  We're going to
make a difference with our music, but also have fun with what we do.  When
it's not fun, it's just another job.  If you don't enjoy what you're doing,
you can sell 20 million albums and still not be happy."

While change is always for the best, EDGEWATER feels that creating new music
and getting it out to the fans on their own terms was therapeutic and they
harbor no hard feelings against their former label.  "If we had stayed,"
says Moseman, "they would've told us to calm down and we didn't want to.
It's not a 'f**k you' record--there's a lot that's positive--but that anger
is there.  It feels good to get our emotions out.  You have to do this for
the right reasons."

EDGEWATER--Matt Moseman (vocals), Micah Creel (guitar/backing vocals),
Justin Middleton (guitar), Ricky Wolking (bass), Jeremy "Worm" Rees
(drums)--gained national recognition with 2004's SOUTH OF SIDEWAYS (Wind-Up
Records) whose "Eyes Wired Shut" was also a lead single from the
Gold-certified soundtrack album to "The Punisher."  They've toured with
Gold/Platinum-selling artists Seether, Three Days Grace, Finger Eleven, and
Default. 

SOUTH OF SIDEWAYS represented a musical scrapbook of the band's experiences
over the years.  WE'RE NOT ROBOTS. marks the first album the members wrote
as an album and the first with all five members from start to finish.
Perhaps surprising for a truly indie album, WE'RE NOT ROBOTS. was
constructed with patience.  Along with extensive pre-production, the album
was eight months in the recording.  "We spent time with each song," says
Moseman, "did two or three at a time and mixed them before moving on to the
next songs.  There was no manager telling us what to do, no outside
influences.  We had complete freedom, no holds barred.  The album is less
diverse than SOUTH OF SIDEWAYS, but it's also tighter.  You can feel where
this band is today."
