Idle Wave is an Emo/Alternative and Indie-Rock band from Asbury Park, NJ.

In years past, Idle Wave has been best described as an Alternative Punk band "embodying the anthemic garage rock sound of Weezer with the hard-truth lyricism of The Wonder Years". Now in 2020, the band is stepping away from its roots and branching into the evergrowing Indie-Alternative world. With a new album on the horizon, Idle Wave has stepped into the likes of an Indie-Pop artist filled with 80's charm, who beats on with an Emo heart; influenced by the styles of Oso-Oso, Prince Daddy & the Hyena, Brand New, and even Julian Baker.

The new single, "Wolves" (as a contemporary shift), previews the new musical approach prevalent in Idle Wave's upcoming album, "Party Guy". While this single stands separate from the upcoming album altogether, we hope it shows our eager audience a taste of what they can expect from the new music. Idle Wave's new catalog will remain versatile and indifferent from the previous records:

The 2020 single, “Home”, features an ambient and emotional atmosphere; appropriate for introducing the new themes of Idle Wave's approaching 2021 full-length. "Home" will be included in the studio album "Party Guy" which may come off to former fans as an "unpredictable", yet satisfying catalog of emotions that encaptures the turmoils of breakups on all avenues. Whether the breakup defines the separation of the former band members, general relationships, or even one's own internal struggles, frontman and songwriter Guy Battaglia announced his approach to these songs as "a second stream of his consciousness". 

 A tracklist of "Party Guy" was first revealed in the form of an Easter Egg in the new official music video for "Wolves". 

You can catch Idle Wave performing predominately around Asbury Park, NJ, across NJ's tri-state area, NYC, and Philadelphia, PA.
