2 A.M. Wakeup Call is the second album from the band Tweaker. Opposed to The Attraction to All Things Uncertain, this album captures emotional, human performances and instrumentation - notably live drums, acoustic guitar, piano and glockenspiels. It's a nighttime record about dreams, nightmares, and insomnia—things that keep us up at night.

Vrenna has stated in interviews that the title was inspired by his wife's insomnia. For a period of about a month she would wake up at 2am every single night no matter when they went to bed.[1]

2 a.m. Wakeup Call was subsequently released in 5.1 Surround Sound.

The track "It's Still Happening" was offered to the ACIDplanet community for remixing as a part of the Tweaker 2 Remix contest.
