SHOP: WAVVY SUPPLY CO. LISTEN: “So Long”
(February 28, 2025) - Without warning, Wavves makes their long-awaited return with “So Long” and news of a newly launched Cannabis brand Wavvy Supply Co. The band also announces a Los Angeles benefit show at Zebulon on March 16 to support victims of the Los Angeles County wildfires. Speaking on the creation of the brand they share: At Wavvy we envision a world where cannabis is not just a product, but an art. Made by artists for artists.
“So Long” comes via the band’s own label, Ghost Ramp, and is the first new Wavves song since 2021 when Nathan Williams returned to his childhood home of San Diego, CA to write his seventh album, Hideaway. Written in a small shed behind his parents’ house, the hideaway was also the place where he made some of his earliest albums, before he became known for his uncanny ability to write songs that sneered at the world while evoking pathos, sympathy, and a deep understanding of how sometimes we’re our own worst enemies, and that can be okay. This time Wavves got off the block and recorded at San Diego’s Jankey Studios with producer Aaron Rubin before finishing the song at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, TX.
A decade prior to this, Williams released King of the Beach an album that delivered on all of the promise that his first two homespun records Wavves and Wavvves captured. It’s an album that also catapulted the band to worldwide acclaim as one of the new darlings of indie rock. It was a cocky collection of pop-punk gems that brought fame so rapidly it also, in part, lead to a widely publicized on stage meltdown at Primavera Fest. Wavves recovered, as they always do, and eventually entered the major label system, where the band released two albums before Williams became disillusioned by the lack of creative agency available to him. In 2017, Williams self-released You’re Welcome on his label, Ghost Ramp before returning to Fat Possum (the home of his first three albums) for Hideaway.
Fast forward to 2024, an older, wiser, and slightly less stoned Williams has again reunited with longtime bandmates Stephen Pope, Ross Traver, and Alex Gates for “So Long.” Always known for their raucous live performances, Wavves fans can rest assured that 2025 will deliver on the last few years of relative quiet with new music and more shows on the way.
In the meantime, stream “So Long”, catch the band at their next Los Angeles show on March 16, and shop Wavvy Supply Co. for all of your cannabis needs. They’ll be back soon.
Upcoming Live Dates:
March 16 - Los Angeles, CA @ Zebulon (wildfire relief benefit show) |
