King of the Beach features a complete rhythm section comprised of Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes, both formerly of the late Jay Reatard's touring band. They toured for almost a year straight until Hayes left the band for some time off. Jacob Cooper, former drummer of The Mae Shi, has since taken his place. After playing the major festival circuit, Nathan started his own record label Ghost Ramp and released the Life Sux EP on September 20th 2011.
On March 26, 2013 Wavves released their 4th studio album "Afraid of Heights" on Mom + Pop records. Jacob Cooper left the band in 2013. Brian Hill (The Soft Pack/The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower) began playing drums soon after.
Wavves' fifth album entitled "V" was released on October 2, 2015 through Ghost Ramp and Warner Bros. Records.

Honest to God, I've got nothing to say
(Let them turn out) Honest to God, I've got nothing to do
(Let them turn out) Honest to God, I've got nothing to say
Honest to God, I've got nothing to do
(Let them turn out) Honest to God, I've got nothing to say, ooh
Follow those eyes, no
Honest to God, I've got nothing to do
Honest to God, I need something to grow
Honest to God, I've got nothing to say, oh
(Let them turn out) Honest someone, I've got nothing to do
Honest someone, I need something to grow
(Let them turn out) Honest someone, I need something to say, oh
Honest someone, I've got nothing to say
(Let them turn out, let them turn out)
Honest someone, I need something to grow, ooh
Let them turn out, let them turn out
Let them turn out, let them turn out
Let them turn out, let them turn out
In "Gun In The Sun" by Wavves, the chorus repeats the lines "Honest to God, I've got nothing to do" and "Honest to God, I've got nothing to say." These lines represent a feeling of being stuck or stagnant in life. The singer is expressing a desire for growth or change, but doesn't have the motivation or inspiration to make it happen. The repetition of the phrase "Honest to God" emphasizes the sincerity and urgency of the singer's feelings. The line "Follow those eyes, no" may refer to a lack of direction or purpose, or a sense of being lost in the world, unsure of which path to take.
The verses continue with similar themes, with the addition of the phrase "Let them turn out." This could be interpreted as a hope that things will work out in the end, or a surrender to fate rather than actively controlling one's path in life. Overall, the song expresses a feeling of confusion and a desire for change and growth, but a lack of direction or motivation to make it happen.
