When we last caught up with Mr. Reatard, his band had quit on him and he was not pleased about it. He since has already found a new backing band and so have bassist Stephen Pope and drummer Billy Hayes. It just happens that they joined Nathan Williams in Wavves. It turns...Click the link to read more

"Coasting is a new duo -- as in, they've been a band for like a week -- from Brooklyn that recently befriended us on myspace. These two (Fiona & Madison) make blistering, distorted blasts of simple/catchy fuzz-pop that you may be into if you feel like WAVVES' drums 'aren't blown out enough.'"Now, if you're like me you probably thought that the quote above came via some sort of indie rock equiva...

Daytrotter just posted up their latest session with Wavves and even have a new track recorded. It’s listed as “Horse Sholes” but he called it “Poker Face” on the previously recorded set by Ray Conception. Well, whatever Nathan wants to call it is ok by me. Check “To The Dregs” + whatever this song is [...]

Wavves have had a pretty rough Summer, what with frontman Nathan Williams' Primavera meltdown and subsequent UK tour cancellation all taking place within just a few days of each-other. Many thought that this could've been it for the troubled pair but instead of succumbing to the woes of drug-fueled onstage nonsense, the twosome are in fact coming back in force with ten recently rescheduled UK

To the pun-happy indie pundits: Wavves is not washed up. The beach-punk, Pitchfork induced "buzzband" that is Nathan Williams (aka Wavves) has long since survived his epic melt-down at Barcelona's Primavera music festival in late May. A "cocktail of ecstasy and Valium" would make any budding 22-year-old rocker go loopy, but if you thought flying beers and stray shoes could destroy someone who i...

The streets of 19th century Whitechapel were shrouded in a thick, unrelenting blanket of cloud. Beneath this veil struck the razor-sharp knife of Jack the Ripper. Sometimes, the police were mere minutes away from his location, yet he always escaped their grasp.

WAVVES has posted up a new, as-yet-untitled track that's slated to appear on an upcoming release in the Fader 7" series . As is the case with most of Nathan Williams' tunes, the simple but undeniable melody firmly implanted itself in my brain after one listen. Check it out at his myspace .

Thanks to Raven Sings the Blues for assisting in my effort to extend summer for one more day (despite the fact that it gets dark at 5:00 PM now), via the laid back, dubby tropical sounds of New Jersey native Ducktails . According to Visitation Rites , this particular beach jam is "built on a 2-second instrumental loop from Gétatchèwe Kassa 's "Tezeta Slow" (a song featured on an installment.

Not all of Stereogum's favorite sounds conform to what folks expect us to cover. In this space, resident Bananafish fetishist Brandon Stosuy focuses on bands, albums, singles, and villages in Sweden that may otherwise pass by unnoticed. This installment's virtual milk crate contains Wavves .In the past couple of Outsiders I've focused on underground legendary figures/bands Harry Pussy and N...

San Diego resident Nathan Williams creates noisy psychedelic pop under the name Wavves. His self-titled album is filled with copious amounts of noise and melody, sounding something like a cross between the Beach Boys, No Age and Times New Viking. "Beach punk" seems like an accurate description. Though still relativbely unknown outside of his southern California turf, Wavves has already gotten...
