To say the modern alternative/emo rock band The Waiting Hurt have time on their hands is a bit of an understatement. Hailing from Barstow, CA the members of The Waiting Hurt have chores to do after school, homework every night, after school jobs and not to mention gathering the courage to ask a girl to the high school prom. They sound like your typical high school teenagers, right? Wrong! You can add band practice, recording sessions, shows at The Whisky in LA, shows in Vegas, opening slots for Himsa, Over it, Name taken, Wester to name a few. The Waiting Hurt who draws influences from Glassjaw, Jimmy Eat World, My Romantic Romance & Bright Eyes is comprised of lead singer Johnny Soto (17), guitarists Justin Deverell (16) & Jeff Younger (17), Bassist Jared Jaramillo (17) and drummer Daniel Concho (18). “The funny thing is that we are not old enough to get into the clubs we want to play so it makes it difficult to trade gigs� explains lead singer Johnny Sotto. But the band does not seem worried by this tiny obstacle. The band is already drawing 200+ in their hometown of Barstow,CA.
