Artist History In 1998 singer Nate Giles founded Numb, a heavy and loud hard rock band. A little over a year later new member Kaylan Romero joined the team and gave Numb a lighter, quirkier side. These two styles blended into some kind of crazy monster so big that it deserved a band name with two words and so Numb grew into the diverse Sick Water. Since it's inception Sick Water has been gigging all over the Southern California area. With performances at the Whisky, the Hard Rock Cafe, the Dragonfly, the Cobalt Club and many other venues, Sick Water has generated a strong and loyal fan base in So Cal. The energy of their live show is enough to keep any crowd excited from the first song to the last. With wild man drummer, Andrew Jones in tow, Sick Water began recording their debut self released album in December 2001 with producer/engineer Justin Harvey. Justin was having such a blast recording the band that he became the resident bass player earlier this year. 4 strong and armed with their 14 song full on rock album, "Aqua Vista", Sick Water is ready to take on any venue, record exec or audience that can handle it.

Press Reviews Music Connection Magazine Review For Sick Water at The Whisky A Go Go December 30th 2000.Sick Water: Plays pop-rock with infectious enthusiasm. Material: Sick Water's bright, uplifting sound borders on a silly, nerdy tone that is somewhat refreshing and slightly familiar. Styling a clean-cut look, which included half of there players in suits, these guys come off like a re-modeled, contemporary version of the cars. Unfortunately, uneven guitar-driven bridges kept breaking up the style the band seemed to be going after. Many tunes would start off using short melodic phrases to set off a radio-friendly tenacity, only to be interrupted by an abrasive inappropriate hardcore transition. On top of that, the two lead singers have impressive pop voices that got buried under the distorted heavy-riffing guitars. As a result, it was difficult to hear the vocals clear enough to understand the lyrics and the melodies got lost. Sick Water might benefit from leaving the distortion behind and aiming for a lighter sound that might make there music more coherent. Musicianship: There is nothing extraordinary about Sick Water's lever of play,. With one exception: looking no older than 17 Andrew Jones on the drums showed a great handle on the skins and kept solid time throughout the bands set. Giles and Romero share singing duties and perform in a bit of a monotone style reminiscent of Ric Ocasek. The unique appeal of this band really comes from the unusually upbeat sound which matched the jilted moves of the teens on the dance floor. Performance: This band showed enthusiasm galore and the result was infectious, with each player demonstrating impressive poise and professionalism. Even when a guitar amp blew out in the middle of the set, each member took the inconvenience in stride and did what they had to do in order to keep the show's momentum from dropping out. Summary: Sick Water is a band on the quirky side. Hopefully they will realize how much there audience loves the upbeat aspect of there show and edit all the heaviness. By working to consolidate there obvious strengths, this young band could eventually become a force to be reckoned with. *Written by Stephanie Andolino.
