‘SLANT’ Out Now
SLANT Out Now!
Rival Waves Return With a Vicious New Punk Anthem
Austin’s alt-rock powerhouse Rival Waves is back—and they’re not holding back. Their new single SLANT drops September 13, 2024, via Lunar Drive Records, and it’s already turning heads. Following the breakout success of Time’s Up—which has surpassed 80,000 streams—SLANT cements the band’s explosive momentum and uncompromising voice in the modern rock scene.
A Bold New Chapter for Rival Waves
Written, recorded, and produced in-house at their South Austin HQ, Studio Lunar, SLANT captures Rival Waves at their most raw and self-assured. It’s a no-frills, DIY declaration of independence—proof that the band’s collaborative, self-sufficient ethos is fueling some of their strongest work yet.
Unfiltered Sound. Unapologetic Message.
If Time’s Up was the spark, SLANT is the wildfire. Digging deeper into their punk rock roots, SLANT is a blistering takedown of deception and societal decay. With lines like
“Clear out / Find another sucker to con / You’re done,”
the track doesn’t mince words. It’s urgent, aggressive, and built to be played loud.
For Fans of Real Rock Rebellion
Punk and alt rock fans will feel right at home. With echoes of Foo Fighters, Bad Religion, and Green Day, and nods to rising acts like Turnstile and Superbloom, SLANT fuses nostalgic grit with modern edge. It’s a sonic middle finger wrapped in thunderous guitars and relentless drums.
A 2024 Milestone—and Just the Beginning
After turning heads worldwide with Time’s Up, Rival Waves continues their rise with SLANT—an evolution in both sound and purpose. Fueled by creative autonomy and a sharper-than-ever sense of identity, the band is on a mission to speak their truth and make noise doing it.
