As of today, it's officially crispy in New York, so we are seeking one last summer solace with the California crust-pop of San Diego's Wavves. As you might expect from a SoCal band named after ocean motion, this shit sounds like a living version of Thrilla Gorilla & Da' Boys. As you might not expect, it is made by one kid named Nathan who has a classic rap blog called Ghost Ramp. Wavves has a follow-up coming in 2009 on De Stijl which will include 'So Bored' and 'Wavves' which is also ridiculously great and streaming on his MySpace. --The Fader
