A preeminent U.S. underground pop-punk bands since the 1980s, The Dwarves have edgy, hard-rock uptempo songs driven by crunchy guitars and group vocals, which provide a sound reminiscent of punk bands Agent Orange and The Vandals, as well as 21st century pop-punk bands such as The Story So Far and Transit.

Those looking for indie-rock, look no further.

Day Wave’s rise began with the debut EP “Headcase” in 2015, and on May 5 it released its first full-length album, “The Days We Had.” The album is larded with potential hits, including “Something Here,” “Promises” and “Untitled.”
