"Rarely does a band find more sonic fidelity at an outdoor festival... than on record, but songs from Williams' blood-curdling album "Wavves" came into unexpectedly enjoyable focus during his set." - LA Times "Pop & Hiss Blog"

"Williams cracked a few jokes, and played a mix of songs both old, recent, and brand new, while [new drummer Zach Hill] worked his arms into a fury of rhythmic distortion equivalent to the heavy guitar fuzz that coats Wavves' ebullient, noisy bangers." - LA Weekly

"[Wavves] all-too brief set fell somewhere between the noise noodling of Sonic Youth, the extended hollers of Creep-era Radiohead, and the distorted yollers of a little band called Nirvana. This was punk-rock turned on its head ... tinged with a healthy screen of art rock that elevated the music from the standard to the unforgettable."" - San Francisco Weekly blog
