Wavves announce new album, tour with FIDLAR
San Diego noise punks Wavves are returning in 2013 with a brand new album titled Afraid of Heights. The group’s follow-up to 2010’s King of the Beach will be released March 26, via Mom + Pop Records. The group has released a new song called “Demon to Lean On,” which you can stream below.
