Wavves

(1/16) > >>

Tom:
Does anyone actually like these guys or is just their F&F and blog zombies?

Anyone else think Nathan Williams is a talentless hack rehashing early 90's slacker DIY, lo-fi indie (Pavement, Sebadoh, GBV etc.) riding on the curtails of No Age and all those other trite 'shitgaze' bands?

Does anyone understand the hype these guys get 'cause I don't understand hipsters anymore?

Hey Pitchfork, why give Wavves an 8.1 and a "Daytripping" segment only to give Crocodiles, another band doing the exact same thing (no lie) a 4.1 and getting pissed off at them for trying to be "the next Wavves"?

WHY??? FUCK U SHITGAZE!!!

P-Frank:
I like Crocodiles more than Wavves, but I do like the Wavves single. Watching a video of him performing live is fucking awful though. I don't think he is talentless though, he has written some nice songs.

Also Pitchfork loves to be contentious, do not listen to them. Sometimes they find cool bands, that some other blogger probably found first and they just re-posted, but that is good enough for me.

And Shitgaze is the worst name for a genre and I think it is just Vice Magazine having a laugh as usual.

valley_parade:
Shitgaze is very, very hit or miss with me.

Mostly miss. It is called "shitgaze" for a reason, folks.

Kyros:
I like Wavves well enough, but he certainly has gotten way more attention then some of the other similar artists like Crocodiles.

I don't really understand, cause in my mind Wavves only has 2 songs.  So Bored, and No Hope Kids.  Awesome fucking songs, but that album is definitely not an 8.1.

Will:
I have long been under the impression that Pitchfork writes music reviews for people who hate music.
