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.

Wavves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't care what you say
I'm not going out
I'm staying home
I don't really wanna act afraid
Not about you, about anything
I can't pretend this is all a dream
Why does my head hurt?
I get stuck by getting worse
Having fun when I'm alone
I don't have to put on a show
Cause everything around me isn't real
Not taking off, I'm just taking a break
Not just from you, from everything
I can't pretend this is all a dream
Have I lived to long?
Why does my head hurt?
I get stuck by getting worse
We're not alone
I believe we're not alone
We're not alone
I believe
Have I lived to long?
Why does my head hurt?
I get stuck by getting worse
I'm getting worse
I'm getting worse
I'm getting worse
We're not alone
We're not alone
I believe we're not alone
We're not alone
I believe we're not alone
We're not alone
I believe we're not alone
We're not alone
I believe
The lyrics to Wavves's song Heavy Metal Detox describe the desire to withdraw from the world and take a break from the stresses of everyday life. The singer expresses a lack of motivation to do anything and a desire to simply stay home and not pretend to be happy or fake emotions. The repeated question "have I lived too long?" suggests a sense of weariness and exhaustion with life, and the line "why does my head hurt?" could represent the physical and emotional pain caused by these feelings. The singer acknowledges that they are "getting worse" but does not offer a solution or way out of this sense of malaise.
Overall, the lyrics to Heavy Metal Detox convey a sense of detachment and apathy towards life, as well as a hint of despair and a desire for something more. The line "we're not alone, I believe we're not alone" could be interpreted as a glimmer of hope or connection to others in a world that often feels isolating.

Thats absolutely fucking hilarious. But it also sucks that they choked you out like that...and YOU caught it.
This would have never happened to me though.
My ex always carried a box cutter instead of a knife....Realized how useful and just how often I'd use it, so I got one for mysef and its on me at all times.
The second that shit started to pull on my neck from both sides and behind....Id like to imagine that I'd whip it out and slice it in half....
Yea, sure...I didn't get to take home that physical object from a memory in the making..But it's not exactly like either of them "won" either. Lmao.
