Awsten Knight sets fan challenge for new Waterparks album
Waterparks fans may have a little something to look forward to today. Singer Awsten Knight took to social media this afternoon with a wild proposition. Knight said if his tweet got a certain number of retweets he would drop a new Waterparks album.
Well, the Waterparks twitter replied and bumped the number higher. Now, a back-in-forth is ensuing that even involved All Time Low frontman Alex Gaskarth.

Awsten Knight of Waterparks took to Twitter just an hour ago with a bold claim.
20,000 RTS I DROP A NEW WATERPARKS ALBUM TODAY LESS THAN 20,000 RTS I DO NOT DROP A NEW WATERPARKS ALBUM TODAY

This is crazy because Waterparks’ new album FANDOM only dropped a few months ago in Oct. 2019. Well, Knight’s fellow bandmates Otto Wood and Geoff Wigington must have felt a bit wary of Austen’s claim because the official Waterparks account replied and bumped the number of retweets to 200,000.
200,000*

From here, Knight kept to his claim and told the Waterparks account to stop. Waterparks replied by attempting to downplay what would be released.
IT ALREADY HAS TWO OK STOP THIS ISNT FUNNY U KNOW ITS JUST GONNA BE B SIDES AND SHIT

Well, Knight didn’t like that and told them to shut it.

Gaskarth then got into the fray by calling Knight a “lil rascal.”

Fans are obviously taken aback and assuming that Knight is kidding around.
HOW DO WE KNOW YOU’RE NOT PLAYING

Awsten Knight then makes it clear that he was joking but he can’t really turn back now.
I WAS JOKING BUT IF IT SOMEHOW MANAGED THAT ID FOLLOW THRU LOL BUT I AM NOT WORRIED THERE IS NO WAY 20,000
— DANNY FANDOM (@awsten) January 22, 2020
Well, if you were scrolling through social media with nothing to do, head over and give that post a quick retweet while you’re at it. As of right now, the post is at 5,500 retweets. It has a ways to go before it hits 20,000, but it has also only been about an hour.

Last month, Waterparks rolled out a new remix of “Dream Boy” from their album FANDOM. The band’s track got an EDM retouching courtesy of producer and DJ JVNA.
The band praised the remix on their social media accounts earlier today, saying “DREAM BOY REMIX BY @JVNA IS OUT NOW, I LOVE REMIXES SO MUCH. I WANT MORE.”
