One month after the formation of Welbilt, Washington, DC radio station DC 101 singled out them out as the most promising independent band in the region on the strength of a self-produced 2002 EP sometimes called "The Blue EP" (Blue) The basement recording was evidence of what DC 101 called a contagious brand of upbeat modern rock, and together with blistering live performances, Welbilt had hooked the radio station. Next: a string of high-profile shows and national awards, a year of touring before an expanding fan base, and recording sessions in Los Angeles with platinum-selling producer Mudrock (Godsmack, Chimaira).
The resulting full-length debut, A Beautiful Mess, was released in December 2003 to a big thumbs-up from fans and critics. "Impressive songwriting...convincing vocals...sonically vibrant" raved the Washington Post, saying "Welbilt delivers on its promise." Fans loved the new tunes, instantly accessible yet built to stand up over time.
Welbilt spent 2004 touring behind A Beautiful Mess with the support of Budweiser True Music and the fans who make it all possible.
In September 2005 the band released their second EP entitled Due To The Current State of Things, containing four brand new tracks including the ever-popular Oxygen. Welbilt continues to play the DC and Virginia areas, especially having become a local favorite and weekly fixture at the Fairfax, VA bar TT Reynolds where the band members originally met. The band has also extended its popularity up and down the east coast, also having become a favorite performer amongst students at the Quadrangle Club at Princeton University in New Jersey. In Spring 2007 they opened there for Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish. They played their last show at Quadrangle Club on January 15, 2008.
While the band has technically broken up, they still have a few shows planned for January 2008.
The band would like to send their love and gratitude and a heartfelt bear hug to each and every fan and supporter as they continue on their successful journey.

Welbilt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my TV illuminates the room
She keeps feeling down
Oh, no
There ain't a damn thing I can do
Keep your head up
And I keep thinking it might be me
In this luck of the draw
I left you in a mess
My heart pressed in my throat
I waited for you to ask me back
And, oh
I reached for my coat
And these things we do
No, I can't help what's already done
I walk these streets for you
It's you that I'm hooked on
Here I am
Yes, I'm falling out of grace and into you
And can't you see that I'm
Wrapped around your finger so tightly
You've got me tied up in knots
Yeah, you've got me upside down and blue
Baby, if I'm crazy
Well I'm crazy for you
It's 2 am now and this rain keeps falling
And I, I can't catch a wink of sleep
And my mind keeps calling your name
To me
As more than just a friend
And I don't want you to feel like anything less
Than a woman
Here I am
Yes, I'm falling out of grace and into you
And can't you see that I'm
Wrapped around your finger so tightly
You've got me tied up in knots
Yeah, you've got me upside down and blue
Baby, if I'm crazy
Well I'm crazy for you
And here I am
Yes I'm falling out of grace and into you
Can't you see that I'm
Wrapped around your finger so tightly
Well I've got this fever
Oh, and the doctors don't know what to do
And if you're the one giving it to me
Oh no, I don't want no remedy for you
No remedy for you
There ain't no
Can't get no
Don't want no
Remedy for you
Can't get no remedy for you
The song "Remedy" by Welbilt is about a person who is deeply in love and infatuated with someone they cannot be with. The first verse sets the scene for the song with the singer watching TV while it rains outside, and feeling helpless that they cannot fix the problems of the person they love. The chorus repeats the phrase "Here I am, falling out of grace and into you," which suggests that the singer is struggling with their own feelings, and they feel powerless to stop loving this person. The second verse reveals that the singer has hurt the person they love in the past, and that they walk the streets thinking about them. They are consumed by this person, and they feel as though they are crazy for them. The bridge addresses the idea that the singer may be physically ill with the love they have for this person, and they do not want a remedy for it.
The lyrics of "Remedy" are open to interpretation, but the overall theme seems to be about the powerlessness of love. The singer is fixated on a person they cannot be with, and they are consumed by their feelings for them. The chorus suggests that the singer has accepted their fate, and they are willing to fall out of grace for this person. The last line of the song, "Can't get no remedy for you," reinforces the idea that the singer is unable to break free from their feelings, and they do not want to try.
