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 ↴
But it's this time it's calling out
Coming back for more
Looking through the center of an ordinary life
It's taking over my mind
Who will save me from myself?
I can't take this one last step
And I can see the light
I can't take it anymore
Heard it all before
But it's this time it's calling out
Knocking at my door
Feeling all the pressures of this consequential time
It's taking over my life
Who will save me from myself?
I can't take this one last step
My tired eyes have been deprived
It's time to say goodbye
I can't take it anymore
You break my confidence down
You took my last breath for yourself
I trusted you with my fate
Free the pain and wash away again
Your reckless words offended
Free the pain and wash away my friend
The lyrics of “Science” by Edgewater touch upon the themes of pressure, fatigue, and the need for self-care. The song starts by acknowledging the familiarity of the situation, indicating that the singer has been through similar instances before. However, this time it is different, and it is becoming overwhelming. The repetition of “I can’t take it anymore” throughout the song is a clear indication of the mental state of the singer. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of hopelessness and cry for help, seeking someone to save them from themselves.
The lyrics also contain a sense of betrayal, where someone close breaks the singer's confidence down and takes their last breath (metaphorically). The singer trusted them with their fate, but their reckless words offended, leading to pain. However, the song ends with a glimmer of hope, and the singer frees their pain and washes it away, indicating a need for self-care and a clean slate.
