Peervalidated will update our website everyday for the remainder of this old year with a few of the great things we missed. It could be because we’re lazy, it could be because we didn’t hear of it, it could simply be because we forgot. Here’s one such band/song/etc.
Pictured: Rogue Wave, making Adam Duritz look photogenic.
I got Rogue Wave’s last album at the end of ‘06. It was a good, workmanlike effort. I remember being upset that their single, “Eyes” wasn’t on it. At its best it was Death Cab Lite. At its worst it was… Death Cab Lite.
At Heaven’s Gate is a giant step forward. Rogue Wave is one of the few bands who seem ready made for high audio quality. The slick production seems to fit Rogue Wave, and never distracts (ala the new Bloc Party). Anyway, enjoy the loopy guitars. This song sounds like it was written by James Mercer after forming an uber band with the remaining members of Harvey Danger. I think there may be a Star Wars reference in there as well.
