Awaiting Abigail Emerge as One of Texas’ Most Promising New Hard Rock Forces
Dallas/Ft. Worth’s own Awaiting Abigail are carving out a spot in modern hard rock with a sound that hits like a steel-toed boot and sticks with the kind of attitude you can’t fake. Formed in 2024, the six-piece has wasted zero time proving they’re more than another local band grinding through the circuit. They’ve already pulled national attention, hit major press radars, and delivered a debut EP full of grit, melody, and emotional firepower.
Their breakout release, Bad Mind , showcased the band’s knack for pairing chunky, classic-metal inspired riffs with a soaring, rock-radio-ready vocal attack. The EP’s four tracks go straight for the throat, blending sass, vulnerability, and tough-as-nails groove. Tracks like I Hate You , Falling Under , and the title track Bad Mind quickly put the band in the spotlight, earning praise from critics across genres.
Awaiting Abigail’s momentum has only grown thanks to multiple standout media features:

“Arguably the most exciting metal newcomers to emerge in a long time.” — SONGSCOPE

“Glittery sonic concoction… and Abigail Hill’s gritty vocals.” — The Other Side Reviews

The band also earned a glowing review and feature in Power Play Magazine , which praised their debut EP for its sassy punch, infectious attitude, and dynamic contrast between heavy guitars and frontwoman Abigail Hill’s unmistakable vocal style. Power Play also spotlighted one of the band’s earliest milestones— performing at the iconic Whisky A Go Go with L.A. Guns on July 19, 2025.
Their reputation continues to expand, including a placement in Decibel Magazine in the MDPR Recommendations section (Issue #246), further establishing the band as one of the rising names worth watching.
Awaiting Abigail’s music pulls from the raw emotion of struggle and the fight to rise above it. Their themes tackle personal demons, mental strain, empowerment, and the messy truth of what it takes to push forward. It’s modern hard rock with a classic punch, built on real-life grit.
