Right them there seems to be a kind of second wave of noisy American band making one hell of a racket but inserting some smart pop melodies so old people like me can't put my hands over my ears and say its just all noise with the kids these days. A group calling themselves Wavvves fit right in with this movement and this album called Wavves I think. Its noisy messy and recalls most obviously Times New Viking and Psychedelic Horseshit and No Age but also harks back to the late 80's early 90's noisy people like Winged Tipped Sloat and Trumans Water. Strip away all the layers of guitar squall and fuzz you can even here slithers of the pure driven pop of The Ramones. So it all comes around again. Its kind of nice that the grand kids of the (early) Flaming Lips acid enhanced big pop shambles are carrying the torch forward.

OVERVIEW: BELLA UNION are very pleased to announce the signing of Wavves aka 22 year old San Diego, resident - Nathan Daniel Williams who has been causing quite a stir with a few 7”s and DIY tapes – and releasing the debut album ‘WAVVVES’ on June 1st 2009.

You may have already heard WAVVES. If you have not, all I can say this : WAVVES are exemplifying every pastiche of what anyone in their mid 20's has been through musically and somehow, some that they have not.

Williams takes his influences from everything from sunshine pop, slacker pop, surf rock, teenage suburban punk and crackling lo-fi and evokes boyish reverie and reverence of thoughtful nostalgia.

WAVVES is the unlikely sound of today's American youth! It's a new day rising and as the WAVVES rise, they gotta converge. You can choose to stay down in the curl, but if you follow the winner, we can meet up on the crest.
