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.

The lyrics to Wavves's song To The Dregs are repetitive and straightforward, emphasizing the singer's indifference towards someone who is interested in them. The opening lines encourage the listener to look forward to the sun, suggesting positivity and hope for the future. However, this sentiment is quickly flipped as the singer admits to seeing the other person around, but not caring about their attention. The use of repetition throughout the song reinforces the idea that the singer is uninterested in the other person's advances and that they will never feel the same way.
Overall, To The Dregs is a song that speaks to the complexity of human relationships and the emotions that come with them. The lyrics are simple but effective in conveying the singer's feelings of apathy towards someone who desires their affection. The song also showcases Wavves's signature sound, which fuses garage rock, surf rock, and punk rock influences to create a unique and energetic sound.

One of my favourite Wavves songs. It's just so goddamn raw!

This is incredible, the footage definitely fits in with the song's mood and atmosphere. I truly think this could be an official video for that song. I feel like Nathan Williams would totally dig this. But I could be wrong. I hear people say Nathan's a douche but they're mostly basing that on his meltdown at Primavera '09, and remember he's like 22 or 23 and was thrust into the indie spotlight practically overnight, and plus he was on a combination of ecstasy, Xanax, Valium, and alchohol I think.
