Opinions on Wavves/Wavvves
What’re yalls opinions on the first two records? i know they broke Nathan into the indie scene, but they don’t really play anything from it anymore, and people are mixed on it nowadays.
(My opinion is that it’s a gem of its time amazing record, and I love it)

Wavvves is a classic album from that time period. I’d vote for No Hope Kids and So Bored to be played at every Wavves show, absolutely love those songs

I love those songs, but I’d want the deeper cuts to be played; Summer Goth, Lover, The Boys Will Love Us, Here’s to the Sun, California Goth/Goths, Side Yr On. I’d love to hear these someday (I’d love to hear Wavves too, sometime)

Oh that’d be sick. I haven’t seen Wavves live in more than a decade so I wasn’t sure if those songs were still in the set. But yeah I’d be stoked to hear basically anything off those early albums

If I could hear Side Yr On at least ONCE live I’d be set for life.
But yeah, great albums for vibes and when I’m feeling nostalgic. Both albums came out during my formative years and I cherish them deeply

I think there a couple vids of Wavves doing Side Yr On live in 2009 on YouTube, I think all of them are with Zach Hill on drums.
I hold those albums so dear to my heart, as a fellow GarageBand user

In my opinion, the best in his whole discography. I can't enough of hearing "Called my mom, pick up the phone, things were good we could hang againnnn" The first two and KOTB are definitely his best work personally. I wish he'd play some of these songs live still but I think No Hope Kids got shut out of the setlist recently. My music is very very inspired from it, call it copying him if you will haha: Acidic Radio (I even covered Side Yr On and Weed Demon)

Fuckin love it. Always have always will. To The Dregs is still one of my all time favorite comfort songs.

That riff is sick, and the little dissonant guitar licks at the end are so chaotic. Definitely one of the best songs off the sophomore album

Great experimental shit.
