Edgewater (band)
Edgewater was a five-piece rock band from the Dallas, Texas area that began in 1997. The band's style was not aimed to fit into any particular genre. According to drummer Jeremy Rees, "Our music is like our band name. It's got that edge to it and it's crunchy and really thick in the hardest places, but the overlays and melodies flow like water over the top." Biography

Formation and self-titled album: 1997–2000

In March 1997, Matt Moseman, Cameron Woolf, Adam Leydig, and Christopher Borders formed Edgewater. The band began as a four-piece with Moseman handling both vocals and playing rhythm guitar, with Leydig as the lead guitarist, Borders on drums, and Woolf playing bass. In March 1998, Micah Creel and Jeremy Rees joined, replacing  Borders on drums. In June 1999, Justin "Shorty" Middleton of 40% would join the band on rhythm guitar, with Moseman focusing solely on vocals. The band would release their self-titled album in July 1999. The band began headlining local and regional venues in support of their album, which was released locally. Lifter And South of Sideways: 2001–2004
