disBAND: Credible Witness

[Watch a new episode of disBAND Tuesday - that's tonight! - at 6pm ET. And if you miss it, it'll be online for you to watch later this week. Check out what the band had to say about their experience on the show! - Kat]

Credible Witness here!…welcome to the life of C-DUBS!!! Granted you’re going to be watching our episode tonight (you better be), you’re probably going to learn a lot about us, but the sad thing is we’re not going to learn much about you!!!

With that said, we had an unbelievable experience working with MuchMusic and Greig Nori. As far as we have come as a band, and all the lessons we have been able to learn along the way, Greig has taught us what being a band is all about and that holds more merit than getting thumbs up or down from 3 judges could ever possess.

You might find this episode is a little different than the others in the past and were happy to be bringing something different to the table, it’s what we as a band are all about. We had the pleasure of MuchMusic and Greig coming to our houses, meeting our families, messing up our rooms, making fun of our clothes, and getting to know us personally. We hope after watching our episode you feel welcome to stop by our MySpace and drop us a line, give our NEW songs a listen, and tell us what you think of the episode and the outcome of what happened to us at MuchMusic. Now we can’t tell you what happened because that would ruin all the fun, so catch the band and Greg, shopping, jamming and doing doughnuts in Ryan’s 1981 Chevette. We hope to get to know ALL of you…

Credible Witness’s hard work didn’t stop at a trip to Toronto, we’ve taken the wise words of our guru and hit the studio to bring you our most current work, some of which has been produced by the likes of Cone from Sum 41 (that’s right we were in his house, even used his toilet!). Future plans for us are just as exciting as NASCAR…wait bad example, well it’s exciting we can say that much. We’re heading to Toronto to produce/record/finish our 6 song Ep with Cone and possibly (hopefully) Greig Nori as well.

Talks of a tour in summer/fall is in the works, and we will be sure to keep all of you posted with up to date news on the MySpace, so drop by!!!

We would like to thank MuchMusic for having us aboard, our extremely talented producer Jacqueline Peres. We would like to thank our manager (the best manager) Rob Karagovski for all the help and time off whenever we needed it. We would like to thank Trevor Boris, Dave the camera guy, Greig Nori, that really good looking receptionist that we hit on for about 2 hours at MuchMusic, and most of all…every single fan that came to support us on Jan 25th (especially those who experienced the horrible bus ride there and back….we are sorry!) and Mark for dancing to our music the entire show.

-Cheers

-Matt, Mike, Ryan, Walter

  1. I’m a fan!!!

    I totally thought you guys had what it takes.
    The judges don’t know what they were talking about.
    You guys are amazing, and it’s a shame the judges couldn’t see that.
    Keep doing what you’re doing, and prove those judges wrong!!

  2. You guys were amazing. The judges seemed to make a bad call; don’t worry about it. You guys will go far. Hang in there.

  3. You guys were great! I can’t believe the judges could be so obtuse. No matter. You will succeed despite this outrage. Keep writing great songs.

  4. Usually I agree with the judges but on you guys they were dead wrong. Come back fighting and show them they made a big mistake!

  5. Love your sound. Don’t understand how they disbanded you. Can’t wait to hear you on the radio.

  6. Really, I think you guys are the best band that has been on disBand! I think the judges made a wrong decision. I do agree with them saying to play for your fans….that is who really counts. Also love the songs on myspace. Can’t really say which one is my favorite — I love them all. Don’t give up!! I think you really have something here.

    honestly, i was amazed when i heard you guys play
    and super disapointed when the fricken judges disbanded you guys! in complete shock !
    keep the tunes coming
    your all super talented !!!

  8. The first thing I was thinking of when I heard you guys play was ‘I can’t wait to buy their cd!’ Worst mistake by the judges yet!! Love the sound! A few more highs in the song would make it even better! Can’t wait to see when you prove the judges wrong!! <3

  9. You guys rock. Normally I agree with the judges, but not this time

  10. so your saying that your gay and want Walter? i can see why he wanted to go solo. first of all your violent and now you love him. make up your mind!

    good luck Walter! i love you too

  11. I COMPLETELY AGREE SISTER!!!!

    By hoe fo' sho on March 27, 2009 at 8:08 pm |
  12. HAHA i thought it was awesome! he was probably serious about it until ryan threatened it, and i heard they had to edit some more of ryans viloent outburts which would have been hard becuase there would have been alot. that was most defently not a joke, his life was in danger. obviously chemistry isnt there if there threatening walter to be in the band when he is cleary way to talented for THIS BAND.

    Like i said in my other comments good luck your really going to need it. except you Walter your gorgeous

    By hoe fo' sho on March 27, 2009 at 8:17 pm |
  13. WUT UP!
    Walter here from.. not the band.
    Because I ended up leaving after the episode aired. I was sick of Ryan’s physical and mental abuse. He beat me a time too many and I decided to take a stand and tell him “no!”
    I am probably going to be beaten again for telling you all this because Ryan won’t accept my decision, but that is something I am willing to do for you. You are my inspiration for writing music. I just hope Ryan doesn’t punch me in the jugular to ruin my voice after this.
    He’s violent like that. And I think Ryan is also gay for me, he always has his hand near my genitile and claims it an “accident” but we all know it’s not.
    Sorry guys but I finally realized that I don’t have a future in this band but you will be able to find my solo work soon, if Ryan doesn’t kill me after he sees this that is.
    PEACE!

  14. i think million stars is a beautiful song. walter sure is talented :) i think his piano playing is great and he’s got a nice voice. but when the whole band started playing, he missed a few notes and kinda went out of tune :S i still think this is a good band, but you do need to work on tightening your sound.

  15. I hate to say it but I agree with the judges. Your vocalist was a little flat and the songs just didn’t stick with me. You have a lot of work ahead of you if you expect to make it half as far as Nickelback.

  16. Thank you Donald, I agree with you completely. Except my voice is absolutely NOT WHAT SO EVER FLAT! It has many peaks and valies. And Nickleback’s got nothing on me. They are weak in my opinion and I in no way, shape or form want to be related to them in anyway.

    By Walter CW on March 30, 2009 at 12:47 pm |
  17. i have noticed some of my comments have not been showing up. also Walter has told me that his comments havent been going up either. he is really upset about this and will leave the band if they dont show up sometime soon.
    like i said in my other comments good luck because your going to need it.
    p.s:I LOVE YOU WALTER <3 because your freaking Canadian EH!!!! hahah

    By hoe fo' sho on March 30, 2009 at 12:56 pm |
  18. RYAN ARE YOU MAKING FAKE ACCOUNTS AGAIN? joe sounds like a fake name

    By Walter CW on March 30, 2009 at 12:58 pm |
  19. I appreciate the dedication and support, but I can speak for myself.
    I have no intention of leaving the band what-so- ever. And i do not appreciate people pretending to be me, and post comments that are not even appropriate.
    I can actually say i like some nickleback everyone once in a while. And I also appreciate them as song writers.

    This is officially the first comment that I have posted on this blog.

    Thanks again for all he support! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME:)

  20. not sure who it is but its clearly someone who has no life or is addicted to talking about me
    i mean its cute but no need to tell lies
    me and Walter love each other like brothers and as for me making fake accounts i don’t need to because we already have enough fans telling us how amazing we are

  21. Love? Were you high when you wrote this? The feelings are not mutual.

    By Walter CW on April 2, 2009 at 12:07 pm |
  22. Crowd definately knew what they were saying more than the judges. :P Walter did accidentally hit one or two bad notes in the performance, but I can see that being kinda scary. xD Maybe accentuating a few parts of that song to give it the peaks that the judges were looking for would help it grow? Personally, I love your guys stuff regardless. :D Just keep playing. Don’t disband!

    And I’m loving all the fake Walter and Ryan comments. xD

  23. thumbs down! are you kidding me….

    take time to listen to these guys music, its unreal…

    thumbs down..pfffff

    By Billy on April 3, 2009 at 7:23 pm |
  24. I got kicked out of this band

    now they are on top…this episode was amazing

    even I can say that they shouldn’t have gotten the thumbs down..

    keep it up boys

    By James Brown on April 3, 2009 at 7:25 pm |
  25. so…i know this has nothing to do with the episode….but i think Matt is the cutest. Any thoughts? i dunno about his stale donuts and knitting though….

    By Tricia on April 3, 2009 at 7:27 pm |
  26. hey boys,
    your crowd looks kinda… down except for the strong boy near the drummer he really likes you boys.
    i hope you play Toronto soon so i can go nuts in the croud

    Luv Ashley xoxo

    By Ashley on April 9, 2009 at 11:25 am |
  27. Walter i think you should got 3 thumbs up i remember watching disband with tyler i was pumped to see you to get accpeted,then the judges disbad you,tyler said i knew it all along i just didnt want to spoil it

  28. Saw these guys live…

    so good…should have gotten thumbs up

    By Charles on April 20, 2009 at 9:01 am |
  29. They should not have been given the disband!!They are soo good!

    By Jilli on May 20, 2009 at 8:04 pm |
  30. In all honesty I’ve caught a few episodes of this show, disagreed with the judges even but have never felt this compelled to write. You all preformed so well, your song had so much heart and soul in it. Music should be a relection of who you are and what’s inside of you and to be able to feel an artists emotions through their music takes real talent…which you boys seem to have…keep it up and don’t ever get discouraged…I wish you all my best and good luck!!

  31. Hey well im a great fan
    i was really disapointed when the judges said to disband
    but keep up the good work you guys where amaizing and if you ever make it to the top ill make sure to be there and see your show your song touch me and i love it keep up the good work guy

    good luck
    xoxo

  32. Credible Witness! You guys were amazing! You all blew my mind. I for sure thought that you had the judges. I don’t know what they were thinking. But as one of you said,I think you had them second guessing their verdict by the end. Its not over. Im sure that your band will go all the way, & i look forward to hearing more from you soon. You guys rock, truly. Keep it comming! :) xo.

    By Stephanie on May 20, 2009 at 8:15 pm |
  33. these guys rock
    judges suck
    simple as that
    come to toronto boys i want to see you live

  34. I am disappointed. Disband??? I disagree!!! I did like their performance. It was very impressive and touched my heart. I love their voice, music, team spirit, etc. I want to put their song on my iPod and listen everyday. I can’t wait for…. CREDIBLE WITNESS, you guys are awesome!!!

  35. I LOVE YOUR SONG! the judges suck, you were amazing. especially the lead singer ;)

    By Bianca on May 23, 2009 at 6:16 pm |
  36. Yeah, the judges made huge mistake. You guys are awesome. And the guy with the long hair is totally adorable.

    By Maggie on July 17, 2009 at 6:11 pm |
  37. After just watching disband for the first time with my 9 year old son, I have to say that I found Credible Witness extremely talented. I think today so many of the “wrong” young performers are catching breaks and not the right type of influences out there for the younger fans out there. Credible Witness to me did not only come across as a well put together talented band, but they are a band that I’d like to see out there as positive influence on our younger generations. I also think judging by their song that they are able to connect with fans from different age groups. I have to say when I heard Disband I was shocked! All I can say is, never give up, take this as a positive experience, what doesn’t break you only makes you stronger I think you guys have an incredible attitude and I think you guys will definately catch your break! Kepp up the incredible music!

    By Lynnell on July 17, 2009 at 6:12 pm |
  38. You guys suck

  39. Whose mom was the one singing along?

  40. Good job guys the song sounded great, I’m not going to say the judges dont know what theyre talking about, but in my opinion they definitely make a mistake, cant wait to hear you guys all over the radio good luck!

    By Addison on July 18, 2009 at 11:08 pm |
