Weโ€™ll share some news soon bye bye
Weโ€™re thrilled to welcome to the Anniversary roster. Please direct all North America booking inquiries to.

Back at the beginning of their seventeen-year career, Holy Wave leaned into a tranquil realm of psychedelia, eschewing long-form jams and guitar heroics for a dreamy pop-oriented approach. As the band evolved, the early Sgt. Peppers-meets-the-Velvets sound yielded to more sophisticated melodies and tripped-out instrumentation, effectively steering their music away from sun-bleached nostalgia to a color-saturated dimension where sounds of the past, present and future intermingled.

The childhood friends of Ryan Fuson, Joey Cook, Kyle Hager, and Julian Ruiz grew up in El Paso, where they cut their teeth in the local DIY scene. Hungry for more music and broader perspectives, the members made frequent road trips across the Southwest to catch touring bands who opted to skip West Texas markets. That wanderlust eventually prompted their relocation to Austin, but it also permeated in their adventurous songwriting and love for touring.
Twelve years ago, Holy Wave gave us ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฎ๐˜…, a fuzz-frenzy as deep as it is wide ๐ŸŒ€

For 24 hours only, the album is free/pay-what-you-want digitally + the limited LPs on Surge Green vinyl are just $17 on Bandcamp! Grab yours now at the link in bio
