Sounds Like: Actual User Testimony:

"These guys gave me a demo. It had one of those labels that stick in the slot loading dvd drive on the iMacs. Their sound is sort of lo-fi space rock a la Duster (meets Mogwai?). Some people call this sort of thing post-rock. The term post-rock is absolutely ridiculous." -----sparkrobot

"These guys bring the epic fo sho. " ----- Mark of The Luna Moth

"Waves and Radiation have made a solid name off atmospheric and ambient indie rock, the kind places like Portland go gaga for. In this rare instance, for the sake of such an inspiring band, I wish Tacoma was just a little more like PDX. But just this once. And I can do without the mustaches and pretension. I'd just like to see Waves and Radiation get the credit they deserve. " ----- Tacoma Weekly Volcano

"I'm probably the first to say that post-rock is dead and the average person doesn't even know it existed. If [post-rock] wasn't dead, I watched it die last night. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. Four awkward guys played what I can only say was a perfect performance. In true form to all of their songs the show followed a slow long climb to a sharp and painful climax...with a filth that I have not seen from a local band in years. All this ultimately climaxing in binge of feedback and distortion. A fever spreading through the band, I watched in pure adoration, and all of their gear was destroyed. I do not mean this as metaphor, they literally ripped their instruments apart while playing.Then it was done.The stage looked like a American Musical Supply vomited all over it.Post rock was dead......and you missed it." ---Peter No One
