The Ninth Wave at Neighbourhood Festival 2018 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
The Ninth Wave are preparing their next EP FLESCH with a video for its latest single A Wave Goodbye To The People Who Said I’d Win.
The band have revealed this was the first song demoed after the release of their last EP, and marks a ‘turning point’ in their style.
The Ninth Wave have some more UK tour dates to go this year after live outings at Neighbourhood Festival and the Bristol Louisiana to name two from where Live4ever was in attendance. “And what a sound,” our report from Bristol reads.
“It’s great to see such hunger in the musicianship and a tightness of sound that can only have come from countless hours in the rehearsal room. The quartet go at it full throttle with little respite for 40 minutes, battering the crowd senseless with their passionate missives. In truth, they could do with adjusting the pace slightly, but that will come as the set expands.”
“Perhaps it’s the acoustics of the venue, but each instrument can be easily identified; Elina’s bass is the secret weapon, with a meatier sound than one guitar should be capable of, while the drums keep everything tightly together. The songs have a very similar trajectory; hair-raising blasts of indie-rock sparkled with a pinch of doom, but it’s a formula that works well and will earn them high praise during festival season.”
Tour dates:

16 – Manchester, Off The Record
30 – London, Hoxton Bar & Kitchen
