A band that started with raw recordings in 2009 and kept making straightforward guitar music.
If you want the Wavves sound, 'Afraid Of Heights' and 'Dog' frame it well. They're both just guitar, attitude, and no extra polish.
Wavves mattered because they captured a certain early-2010s indie rock mood without overthinking it. Songs like 'Afraid Of Heights' from the 2010 album 'King of the Beach' felt both sloppy and intentional, a sound that found its audience. Their catalog, including tracks like 'Dog' and 'Hollowed Out', sticks to a simple, guitar-driven approach that doesn't pretend to be anything else.
Nathan Williams began putting out lo-fi recordings around 2009, with the early sound described as raw and unpolished. The lineup shifted over time, with Stephen Pope and Brian Hill joining at points, and albums like 'V' and 'Hideaway' continued the thread of straightforward music. They kept making records, from 'You're Welcome' in 2017 to songs like 'Beach Demon' and 'Hard To Find'.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
