Wait (We Are In Transit) just released their new album "The End Of Noise" and to celebrate we asked Charlie Eron to tell us about the album's title track. Here is the story:
"Lone Presence Supreme", the 2nd track on our record "The End of Noise" is the prototype of the WAIT sound and the impetus for the creation of the group.

Max Phelps and I were in a few of the same classes, and I was friendly with him and the other guys from Exist (Max and Alex Weber).
