Waterparks are a Houston-based pop-punk band that formed in late 2011, composed of frontman Awsten Knight, drummer Otto Wood, and guitarist Geoff Wigington.
Their debut EP Airplane Conversations was recorded without an official band in place, including former band members Gage Matthieu and Owen Marvin.
Their 2014 sophomore EP Black Light saw the band collaborate with former Taking Back Sunday guitarist Fred Mascherino and Texas-based Driver Friendly vocalist Tyler Welsh. The EP gained them minor success in the scene despite the band being unsigned and the EP being self-released.
