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 ↴
I see you walk around you're hung over
I see you walk around missing every pace you take
I see you walk around it's not over
I see you walk around wishing you were someone else
I see you walk around searching for attention
Who's that they are sinking in me
Who's that they are sinking in me
I'm spinning around in these circles again
I see you walk around hugging people with no name
I see you walk around with weightless shoulders
I see you walk around looking for a missing face
I see you walk around fighting to impress them
You think you don't make one difference
It's all in how you perceive what you live in
I can't help but watch your existence
And I get sick when I see you can't make it out
You see me walk around
You see me walk around
The lyrics in Edgewater's song "Circles" delve into themes of internal struggle, insecurity, and the desire for acceptance. The opening lines describe someone who is pushing people away out of a sense of shame and who is hungover, possibly indicating that they are self-medicating to numb their pain. The following lines suggest that they are struggling to move forward and make progress in their life, possibly due to a lack of self-confidence or motivation.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Who's that they are sinking in me / I'm spinning around in these circles again," which could be interpreted as feeling trapped in a cycle of negative emotions and experiences. The second verse describes the same individual looking for validation from others and trying to impress them, perhaps indicating a lack of self-worth or identity.
However, the song also offers a glimmer of hope in the lines "You think you don't make one difference / It's all in how you perceive what you live in." This suggests that the character's struggle may be largely internal and that they have the power to change their perception and create a positive difference in their own life.
Overall, "Circles" is a poignant commentary on the human experience and the complexity of our emotions and motivations. It offers both a critique of societal pressures and a call to self-reflection and action.
