Waves Crashing

Waves Crashing is an alternative band based in Olympia, Washington, known for infusing lush soundscapes into fresh melodic hooks, drawing inspiration from 80s and 90s alternative genres like new wave, shoegaze, and noise rock. Their music features huge guitar sounds with reverb effects, big drums, and catchy melodies, often described as "snappy soundscapes." The band has released several singles and EPs, including the "Sea of Wires" EP, which debuted on the shoegaze radio station DKFM. They have performed at notable events like the LoveOly Summer Fest and the South Sound Block Party, sharing stages with bands like Bully and The Districts. Their recent work includes the EP "The Viewing," released in March 2023.

Waves Crashing's music often explores themes of introspection and social commentary, as seen in tracks like "Life on Display" and "High Horse." The band's creative process involves a blend of home recording and collaborative mixing, reflecting their DIY ethos. They have been featured on prominent radio stations such as KEXP 90.3 FM in Seattle, further expanding their reach in the music scene. With plans for more shows and possibly a Pacific Northwest tour, Waves Crashing continues to build momentum in the indie music landscape.
