Remember a while back when we posted a quirky little number about my hero Dave Grohl? Well I did a little investigation afterwards and discovered that Wavves has a lot of other cool songs too! I have really gotten into this band recently and funnily enough actually discovered them through their collaboration with Big Boi on his latest album Vicious Lies & Dangerous Rumours.
They have a really cool sound, a mix of sixties surfer rock (think Beach Boys), punk, psychadelia and a little bit of grunge thrown in too (think Nirvana). I'm told that they have a similar sound to a band called The Drums too. Anyways, my favourite thing about this band is that their music is kind of paradoxical, in that the music itself has a really happy sometimes hippy sometimes ubpeat punk vibe to it, but the lyrics are really dark, depressing and negative in an "everything is stupid, life sucks" kinda way. It's a combination that I find really interesting and is part of the reason I'm digging Wavves so much right now.
They have just released their new album Afraid of Heights too, which is also exciting. Below is a selection of some of my favourite Wavves tunes. But like, whatever man, who cares.
