LATEWAVES

LATEWAVES formed on the beaches of Asbury Park, NJ in 2016. Mike Pellegrino (guitar/vocals), Shawna Grabowski (drums/vocals) and Howie Cohen (bass/vocals) hit the ground running with numerous EP’s, touring the East Coast and Midwest. In 2019, Brett Romnes and Vinnie Caruana (both of I Am The Avalanche, The Movielife) agreed to co-produce the bands first full length record. The band signed with Know Hope Records to debut their LP “Hell To Pay” in June, 2021.

“Hell To Pay” earned quick success on streaming services, landing spots on Apple Playlists and Spotify’s All New Punk. The record placed in the top 200 on the NACC College Radio charts its first week, and saw over 1K in vinyl sales. Throughout all of this, the band found themselves supporting bands such as The Used, Can’t Swim, Piebald, Save Face, Hidden In Plain View, lovelytheband and performed at the 20th Anniversary of THE FEST.

In December of 2022, the three returned to the same studio with Romnes and Caruana to embark on recording LP2. LATEWAVES second full-length will be released via Open Your Ears Records. The self-titled album borrows from the trio’s previous signature sound with a plethora of angsty riffs and anthemic sing-along rock songs, but it is no carbon copy of any of the band’s past releases. This record rockets into space the second it begins. Layered with both gut-wrenching and shit-eating-grin lyrics, the LATEWAVES self-titled will resonate with anyone with a pulse that values self-growth.
