San Diego, United States (2008 – present)

Nathan Williams, under the name Wavves, is a musician based in San Diego, California. He released his self-titled debut LP in 2008 and has since gained notable media attention from the internet, and other areas including Pitchfork and ABC News. Originally signed to Fat Possum Records, he released his second full-length album Wavvves with them in 2009 and his third album, King Of The Beach, on August 3rd 2010.

King of the Beach features a complete rhythm section comprised of Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes, both formerly of the late Jay Reatard’s touring band. They toured for almost a year straight until Hayes left the band for some time off. Jacob Cooper, former drummer of The Mae Shi, has since taken his place. After playing the major festival circuit, Nathan started his own record label Ghost Ramp and released the Life Sux EP on September 20th 2011.

    At first I'd had the album lying around and didn't care much for a pop in the player, sometime yesterday I had decided to give it a good pop and play some tracks recommended and had heard "King of the Beach" played, I reset the track and started shouting the lyrics along with the song loudly! I'm happy I actually listened.

    VAPO-RATS. hardcore punk outta New Orleans. They play an 80's style of punk. Equally catchy/aggressive music. Touring the East Coast later this summer. Check out their music and leave em' a shout on their last.fm (I'm not even a member of the band, just a big fan): http://vapo-rats.bandcamp.com/album/mischief
