The Olympia-based, Waves Crashing, infuses lush soundscapes into fresh melodic hooks putting a new spin on alternative music from the 80s & 90s.  


Since forming, Waves Crashing have released a handful of singles and EP’s, including the Sea of Wires EP, which debuted globally on the shoegaze radio station, DKFM.  


Waves Crashing have been fortunate to play at the LoveOly Summer Fest in Olympia, as well as being tapped to play at the inaugural South Sound Block Party alongside groups like Bully, The Cave Singers, and The Districts during the summer of ’22.  


The band's 2022 EP, High/Low, features mixing by engineers James Aparicio (Depeche Mode, Spiritualized, Mogwai) and Kurt Roy (Sea Salt, Fern Murphy), contains standout tracks  “High/Low” and “In My Head” (Featured on KEXP 90.3 FM), some of the most well received songs in the bands' ever-expanding catalog.  


With their latest release, the 4-track EP, The Viewing, we hear the band diving sonically deeper than ever before to bring some of their most well-crafted and beautiful songs to the surface. The feature single "Life on Display" has been very well received with continued radio support from KEXP Seattle, DKFM Los Angeles and WXNA Nashville. With this release, all is on display for the world to hear for themselves.

Everything from the songwriting, production, dynamic choices, sequencing and arrangements are all next level. This has become one of my regular listens.


Mark Anderson - Static Sounds Club (2023)

Ability to craft memorable hooks, lush soundscapes, and poignant lyrics. With each track, the band reveals a new window into their sonic world, resulting in a collection of songs that are both nostalgic and fresh.


Plastic Magazine

Continue to impress with a sound steeped in textured guitars, dreamy vocal hooks, and hypnotic rock allure


Obscure Sound

‘Life On Display’ is not just a fun, catchy song, but also one with deep profoundness. The delicate lyricism is haunting, oozing vulnerability.


Nicole Mendes - The Other Side Reviews

Capsized (reimagined)’ is a song painted on a big canvas, proper widescreen music. Built on a foundation of a purring fuzzed out guitar the song plays with some glorious textures.


Mark Anderson - Static Sounds Club (2022)

The group have developed and perfected a rich and melodic guitar-laden sound, always teetering between freshness and nostalgia, atmospheric reflective dreampop and shimmering noisy shoegaze textures over ecstatic vocalizations


White Light // White Heat

Elements of all the best 90s rock with a bit of a Galaxie 500 and expansive 80s classic rock and dream pop sound


We All Want Someone To Shout For

Add glorious rock edges to gaze soundscapes


Jangle Pop Hub

Offer alternative rock with a slightly European compositional approach that makes them stand out from the crowd
