Waterparks consists of lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Awsten Knight, backing vocalist and lead guitarist Geoff Wigington, and backing vocalist and drummer Otto Wood. The band has released three EPs, two of which were released independently while the third was released via Equal Vision.

Waterparks musical style has been described as pop punk, pop rock, electropop, and alternative rock. The band is said to derive their unique sound through the addition of vocal modulation, layered synthesizers, and fast vocals to the traditional rock sound. Frontman Awsten stated that he considers the group to be a rock band that has garnered significant inspiration from pop music. Since the departure of former bassist Gage Matthieu, the band has remained without a bass player in its official lineup, instead performing with a rotation of fill-in bass players or using pre-recorded backing tracks in live appearances.
Waterparks are such a good band to see, the crowd was crazy, the set was amazing, the songs were great. I would go see Waterparks so many times if I could afford it. 10/10 would recommend.

Brought our daughter to her first concert. She had an amazing time, band was great.

I love this band so much and will continue to support them no matter what they do! These guys always put on such a fantastic show. You can feel they really love what they do each and every single time they come out to perform. I will always come and see these guys no matter where they perform because you know your going to be in for something amazing!

Great experience! It was a great concert, 10/10 would recommend! Band was great as well as super engaged with the audience, space was wonderful.

Seeing Waterparks was the best night of my life! The stage presence these guys have is incredible! They're the first real band I've seen in concert and I can't complain at all. They're all so sweet and caring and I could see the genuine enjoyment they had playing! I definitely recommend seeing these guys if you like their music.
