About

For more than 20 years, Massachusetts melodic hardcore band A Wilhelm Scream have been  rocking out and wowing fans with their punk-revival albums and high-energy live performances.

Formed in the mid-'90s in New Bedford, Massachusetts, A Wilhelm Scream was initially called Smackin' Isaiah, who released two projects under the moniker: The Way to a Girl's Heart Is Through Her Boyfriend's Stomach LP in 2001 and The Champagne of Bands EP on Fork in 2002. Amid a series of lineup changes, the band changed its name to A Wilhelm Scream -- a reference to the famous stock sound effect typically heard in films.

The newly solidified lineup -- with vocalist Nuno Pereira, guitarists Trevor Reilly and Christopher Levesque, bassist Jonathan Teves, and drummer Nicholas Pasquale Angelini -- released their first album, Mute Print, in 2004 via Nitro Records. The quintet toured across the U.S. that year with Much The Same, Break The Silence and Near Miss, as well as some Warped Tour dates.

One year after Mute Print, AWS released a follow-up, Ruiner. Around this time, founding member Teves left the band and was replaced by bassist Curtiss Lopez. The group kicked off their first European tour with Lagwagon and toured with Less Than Jake. Lopez also left the band and was then replaced by former Fullblast bassist Brian J. Robinson. Around this time, AWS released a 7-inch EP, Diver.

In 2007, AWS released their third album, Career Suicide. Shortly before its release, longtime guitarist Chris Levesque announced he was leaving the band, and Mike Supina, formerly of the Detroit band Alucard, became his replacement. AWS toured aggressively in support of Career Suicide, hitting more than 18 different countries.

In 2009, AWS released a 5-song self-titled EP. The following year, they toured with Comeback Kid and released their new studio album, Partycrasher, via No Idea Records. It would be nearly a decade before AWS would release a follow-up to Partycrasher; from 2014 to 2018 the band toured extensively, and from 2019 to 2021, Trevor Reilly worked on building a permanent home studio and rehearsal space for the band. 

Guitarist Mike Supina left the band after 10 years in 2018 and was eventually replaced by Senses Fail guitarist Jason Milbank. AWS also played Mute Print and Ruiner anniversary shows with former guitarist Levesque.

After announcing that they had acquired the rights to A Wilhelm Scream's releases with Nitro Records, the band signed to Creator Destructor Records and released their first new song in nearly nine years: "Be One To No One." In April 2022, they released their fifth studio album, Lose Your Delusion, which was recorded in the band's newly built studio and mixed by Paramore producer Kyle Black.

    Incredible experience!

    by Russ on 7/6/22The Masquerade - Purgatory - Atlanta

    What can I say? One of, if not, the best punk bands in the world today at an intimate venue. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

    I found AWS because No Trigger was my favorite band. They quickly became my second favorite band and seeing them both together is amazing

    A Wilhelm Scream

    by ShaMoose on 11/21/12Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    If you haven't heard of this band, you owe it to yourself to discover them. They are always fantastic and worth a venture out to see. The fast paced punk beats that come out fly past you and leave you wanting to hear it again and again. The venue was awesome as well.

    Between the biggest smirk I have ever seen on Nunos face when talking about his newborn son, to the noodly guitar solos by Mike and Trevor, to Brians Pastorius-like bass lines and Nicks furious stick work, My face was sufficiently melted

    AWS killed it! Stereo state was great

    by JamminJman on 11/18/12Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    Raindance showed a lot of passion for what they do. Never hearing them before I was pleased as an opening act. Stereo State was up next and they rocked hard. They had the crowd moving and singing along. Next was Smartbomb, which was a slight disappointment. They just didnt seem to fit with the level of play of the other bands. I would defintelty suggest putting Stereo State in their spot right before the headliner. I felt the feeling of the crowd go from nice and pumped during Stereo State back down during Smartbomb's performance and then it went way back up to a totally different level for AWS. They came out with a bang and never stopped. Played their entire Ruiner album without a flaw. Nuno was so amazing with the crowd. After the album they played a new song I think they never played live "Boat Builders". After, Nuno said he wanted to get going to kiss his 3 day old son goodnight but they still decided to play 4 more songs and absolutely shredded. Last song "We Built This City on Debts and Booze" the crowd, the band, the energy of the building was at full capacity. Overall the best show I've been to with my favorite band and a few good openers. Thank you guys
