Edgewater is lead singer Matt Moseman, guitarists Micah Creel and Justin "Shorty" Middleton, drummer Jeremy "Worm" Rees, and former Nixons bassist Ricky "Honky Mofo" Wolking.
Edgewater gained notoriety in 2004 after being signed to Wind-up Records and having a lead single on the Punisher Movie Soundtrack and movie credits. The bands single "Eyes wired Shut" was also featured as the theme music for WWE Backlash 2004.
2005, after being told by Wind-up executives that 'rock is dead' and told to change their sound, the band bravely departed the label to work independently. So far in 2006, Edgewater has released their new album "We're Not Robots..." locally to a healthy fan base and started a distribution partnership with Rock Ridge Records/Warner for releasing the album nationally in August.
Edgewater officially disbanded in 2007. Matt Moseman later became the lead singer of June Halo. Micah Creel is often seen on the road with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC) and STP. Jeremy 'worm' Rees is spending much deserved time with his wife and beautiful daughter.
In late December 2016, Moseman died in his sleep of an apparent heart failure. He was married and had 3 sons. On March 16, 2017, a memorial live show was held in Texas to celebrate his life. At the service, the surviving band members performed Edgewater songs with guest vocalists.

Edgewater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waste away in fear
Will you wait? Why won't you wait for me?
Do you still believe that I will free myself?
In my cell sunlight breaks oh well
Can't you see what this shit has done to me?
Do you still believe I'll free myself?
Did you wonder did you notice?
How I slept today
Did you wonder?
Won't you just break me out?
Break me out
Break me out
Break me out
Won't you won't you wait?
Won't you won't you wait?
Why can't you won't I am you don't
Break me, save me, liar, I am
