DOWNLOAD: Wavves - So Bored

This woozy, low-fi track perfectly describes lackadaisical teenage boredom in sunny suburban So Cal and the requisite hash-smoking-from-a- Red-Bull-can that comes with it. Defiant, hazy beach punk, it would have blended in perfectly in the Lords of Dogtown soundtrack. Like most  of Wavves' tunes, "So Bored" sounds like it was recorded from a live session on a transistor radio onto a tape deck; its rogue grittiness is half the thrill. Nathan Williams, the singular phenom behind Wavves, (who also runs the rap blog, Ghost Ramp), will be an ubiquitous figure at year's Austin festivities - he's playing 9 shows in 4 days.

Sounds Like: Crystal Stilts, Pixies, Women, Pavement
