The winners want us to believe the world is beautiful, but Witching Waves has seen the world and knows this is a lie—that everything is lost and nothing is to be trusted. We (HHBTM Records) saw them open for Eureka California in the UK in late 2014 and couldn’t get the songs out of our… Continue reading Witching Waves at Innocent Words

Eureka California at Immersive Atlanta
Release Info Recorded with MJ from Hookworms at Suburban Home Studios in the UK, Versus is fervent blast of crunchy pop and face-melting fuzz rock that’s made for pounding beers and staying out way past your curfew. Don’t sleep on this record. [Link]
Eureka California at Examiner
Other than the name, Eureka California holds no association to the town of Eureka nor the state of California. It is a band from Athens, GA (by way of NC) known for its raw blustery sound built around crunchy guitar riffs and the right amount of fuzziness. Head honcho Jake Ward is the brains, heart,… Continue reading Eureka California at Examiner

It’s noticeably louder than the debut, but that’s not all… Continue reading Witching Waves at Narc

Witching Waves at Overblown
Armed with their sophomore album released via Soft Power Records over the weekend, Witching Waves delve into the creation and execution of Crystal Cafe. Their tone is serious, technical and deeply reflexive of the much more calculated and polished sound that is their second record. Additionally, we are respectfully allowed a peek into the process of a group… Continue reading Witching Waves at Overblown
Witching Waves at Ghettoblaster
Witching Waves is a trio from London, and they consists of two things I love in a band: the main vocalist is their drummer and their drummer is a female. This is a heavy and dissonant album, with only the occasional short instrumental passage to break the pounding momentum built throughout. Crystal Cafe is equal… Continue reading Witching Waves at Ghettoblaster
Witching Waves at For the Rabbits
Who? Witching Waves are the noise-pop trio of drummer Emma Wigham, guitarist Mark Jasper and bass player Ed Shellard. Emma and Mark share vocal duties, whilst Mark also handled production on their upcoming record. What? On the most basic level Witching Waves are a classically DIY noisy trio, persistent hypnotic drum beats, rumbling bass lines… Continue reading Witching Waves at For the Rabbits
