WAVVES

Wavves recently made a long-awaited return with their first new music since 2021, the launch of their cannabis brand Wavvy Supply Co., and a Los Angeles wildfire benefit show at Zebulon. The band followed that momentum with the release of their new album Spun, marking the start of a new chapter for Nathan Williams and longtime bandmates Stephen Pope, Ross Traver, and Alex Gates.

Now Wavves are expanding the Spun era with a deluxe edition of the album featuring two B-sides and the Live Wavvy Sessions—five songs recorded live in the studio capturing the band’s raw, unfiltered energy. The sessions include performances of “King of the Beach,” “Nine Is God,” “Green Eyes,” “Goner,” and “So Long,” bridging fan-favorite classics with songs from Spun.

The album’s single “Goner,” produced by Travis Barker, arrived alongside a Brandon Dermer-directed music video filmed during the band’s Zebulon charity show. Dermer previously directed Wavves’ 2013 video for “That’s On Me” and has worked with artists including Blink-182. Speaking about how the track came together, Williams says:
“I had this song I had been sitting on, always revisited it and tried to record it a bunch of times but it was never just right. Eventually it was giving me PTSD. I was talking to Travis about doing some songs together and when I opened up the vault to him, this one jumped out so we laid it down and finally we got it right.”

Like Nathan Williams’ earliest music, Spun first took shape in a small shed behind his parents’ house known as the Hideaway—the same space where he recorded some of his earliest material. Since the beginning, Williams has been known for writing songs that push back against the world while still evoking pathos, sympathy, and the uneasy realization that sometimes we’re our own worst enemies—and that can be okay.

Over a decade earlier, Williams released King of the Beach, the album that delivered on the promise of his first two homespun records, Wavves and Wavvves. It catapulted the band to worldwide acclaim as one of indie rock’s most exciting new acts. In the years that followed, Wavves entered the major-label system with Warner Records, releasing Afraid of Heights and V, before eventually stepping away in search of greater creative freedom.

In 2017, Williams self-released You’re Welcome on his own label, Ghost Ramp, before returning to Fat Possum for 2021’s Hideaway. Wavves have since returned to Ghost Ramp for the release of Spun and its newly released deluxe edition.

With Spun and its deluxe edition, Wavves reaffirm their place as one of the most enduring bands to emerge from the late-2000s indie rock explosion. Known for their raucous live shows and sun-bleached punk songs, the band continues to evolve while staying true to the spirit that made them cult heroes in the first place.

BASS DRUM OF DEATH

Bass Drum of Death is getting back to basics. From the bare-bones title of their sixth record—SIX—to the writing approach—their first two LPs were recorded entirely on GarageBand—the creative process for the group is strikingly similar to the early stages of their career. While the new album marks a return to their original recording method, there are a few notable changes. Instead of working solo on the demos, frontman John Barrett and the band (Jim Barrett, guitar; Ian Kirkpatrick, drums) convened for several sessions in Barrett’s home studio in Nashville to bring the songs to life. Manning the faders was producer Jeremy Ferguson (Cage the Elephant, White Reaper), who then hosted the band for ten snowy days of fine tuning at his Battle Tapes studio. The result is a scuzzy blast of their signature sound, with influences ranging from The Stooges to ZZ Top and very much aided by Ferguson’s deft engineering touch. If SIX sounds like a return to form, the band proves they still have a few tricks in their pockets and things up their sleeves.

WORLD'S WORST

Worlds Worst is an SLC-based band who introduced their loud, energetic-while-melancholic sound with the release of their two EP’s in 2020 and 2021. They released their self-titled debut album in March of 2023 via Smoking Room/Julia’s War Records, which earned them recognition as one of Stereogum’s Best New Bands of 2023.

Worlds Worst has toured extensively across the US, have played multiple festivals, including headlining Philly’s Julia’s War Fest, playing Vermont’s Otis Mountain Get Down, SLC’s Kilby Block Party twice, and the new Best Friends Forever Festival in Las Vegas.
