latewaves

**Latewaves** is a New Jersey-based indie rock trio bringing gritty, heart-on-sleeve energy to the punk scene. Hailing from Asbury Park, the band formed in 2016 and quickly carved out a space with their mix of raw, melodic hooks and introspective lyrics. Their sound nods to 2000s emo and alternative rock, balanced with a modern DIY edge. Tracks like "Hell to Pay" and "Acting Out" showcase their knack for blending cathartic choruses with themes of burnout, self-doubt, and small-town restlessness. They’ve shared stages with acts like The Bouncing Souls and The Menzingers, earning a rep for sweat-soaked live shows that feel like therapy sessions with a mosh pit. Keep an eye on these Jersey underdogs—they’re turning angst into anthems, one power chord at a time.
