Об американцах:

Woe, Is Me was founded during September 2009 in Atlanta by Austin Thornton, Kevin Hanson and Tim Sherrill with Cory and Ben Ferris.[1] These members recruited vocalists Michael Bohn and Tyler Carter, respectively for unclean and clean vocal positions. With this seven-member lineup, the band recorded a three-song demo with producer Cameron Mizell containing the songs «Hell, or High Water», «I.» and «If Not, for Ourselves» which were released to their Myspace profile. The group later recorded and released a cover of the Kesha song «Tik Tok», also showcased online within a few months of being a band. Soon after these recordings were released, The Artery Foundation took notice of them. Rise Records, along with their imprint label, Velocity Records, signed Woe, Is Me before even playing their first show. They recorded their debut album, Number during the same month that they were signed. It was subsequently released on August 31, 2010. It reached position #16 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart.The band’s debut tour, the Pyknic Partery tour, was shared with Drop Dead, Gorgeous, From First to Last, Sleeping with Sirens, Abandon All Ships, For All Those Sleeping, and Attila.

Clean vocalist Tyler Carter’s soul-influenced voice has garnered comparisons to Jonny Craig, who provides guest appearances on the album.The group held an album release show in Georgia for Number on September 2, 2010 with pop punk band Veara as a supporting act. Later in September, the band recorded a cover of the Katy Perry song «Hot n Cold» for the compilation album, Punk Goes Pop 3.

In an interview with radio station The Gunz Show, Carter stated that the band would be recording a music video for «[&] Delinquents» in September of 2010.The group embarked on a Canadian tour supporting Abandon All Ships from October 1, 2010 to the 28th of that month. From November 4, 2010 to November 28, 2010, the band was included on a US tour entitled Average Guys with Exceptional Hair Tour in support of A Skylit Drive, along with For All Those Sleeping, Scarlett O’Hara, and Motionless in White. The music video for «[&] Delinquents» was released on the first of December of that year.

By the end of December, lead guitarist Tim Sherrill departed from Woe, Is Me.The band acquired Atlanta resident Jack Langdell to perform as a touring member during the search for a permanent replacement. Geoffrey Higgins took up the position officially in March 2011. Woe, Is Me has planned their second studio album and will begin writing for it by mid-2011. It is scheduled for release sometime in the fall of 2011.[citation needed] The music video for Number’s lead single, «[&] Delinquents», was released on November 29, 2010.Woe, Is Me has been confirmed to perform at all of the Warped Tour 2011 tour dates.

The group released a single for a 2011 recorded song entitled «Fame > Demise» (pronounced fame over demise) through the iTunes store on March 21, 2011.Carter has stated that the song is and will only remain as a single, and will not be part of the band’s upcoming second album. An acoustic version of the song was also released.
