We Are Now Awake formed in the summer of 2007 and is comprised of Philadelphia area musicians Keith Feighan (vocals, programming, guitars) and Sean Luis Ferreiro (additional programming, production). During the early part of the decade, Feighan, a self taught musician, found himself afflicted with an extremely rare medical condition. After learning that he had essentially not aged for the past fifteen years, Feighan's lifestyle took a dark and unsettling turn. His affliction was quickly defining who he was, and what he was becoming. As a coping mechanism, Feighan conceived of We Are Now Awake. He began to write a collection of thematic songs which eventually became 'theImbalance', a concept album detailing his existence and the hell his life had become.
Together the duo have successfully crafted a unique and impressive sound which is rapidly creating internet buzz and developing a devoted fan base. Fragility vs. powerful eruptions, passionate guitar riffs vs. razor-sharp synths, embedded in deep emotional atmospheres and colored with exciting edges. We Are Now Awake self-released Version 1 of their first full length album 'theImbalance' digitally in 2008. A completely remastered version of 'theImbalance' will be released worldwide digitally and physically in late summer/early fall 2010.
