WAVE BREAK EPK
‘While the EP’s brief runtime may leave listeners craving more, this is ultimately a compliment to the quality of the music. The tracks are engaging and well-crafted, creating a compelling case for the band’s future work.” - Sound Rebellion
‘The New Jersey band has established itself in the East Coast music scene, both with their own tours and by supporting other bands, solidifying a project with a strong aesthetic, sound, and message.’ - Melomaniacs Mag
‘The multi-dimensional rock project continues to break barriers in their approach, most recently releasing their sophomore EP “Puzzle Pieces,” which contains a handful of songs that discuss the darkness of their evolution. But at the forefront, Barber stands tall, ready to approach any discrepancy that heads her way. Wave Break’s overall energy is a testament to Barber’s tenacity, and the band is only going to continue to make waves because of it.’ - Substream Magazine

BIO
WAVE BREAK is quickly becoming a staple in the Jersey Shore music scene. Having opened for bands and artists such as Fred Mascherino, Youth Fountain and Palisades, played at legendary venues such as House of Independents, The Stone Pony, and Anchor Rock Club, and toured across the east coast, their steady upward trajectory is undeniable. After releasing two heavy hitting EPs in 2018 and 2021, in late summer 2024 they released their third EP “Ignite//Decay” containing 5 tracks mixed/mastered by multi-platinum producers ZK Productions (Mayday Parade, The Summer Set, We Are The In Crowd). This body of work showcases the band’s distinctive talent for combining infectiously catchy pop melodies with dynamic rock instrumentation.
In May 2025 the band followed up “Ignite//Decay” with their single “Easier Said,” displaying a masterful blend of riffy guitars and hook-laden melodies. Next up is “Spinning Out,” to be released in September 2025. This single explains what it feels like to lose control of your life to anxiety and then sabotage yourself by engaging in destructive behaviors.
Overall, the band wants their music to serve as a beacon of hope for listeners, motivating them to keep going when things seem impossible, as this has been their mantra since the beginning.
