Wavves has finished recording the follow up to last years self titled album according to frontman Nathan Williams’ blog. “SOUNDS CARAAAZAAAAAAYYY AND WILL BE OUT THIS SUMMER, he said.” The band will hit the road this summer for several North American dates, two of which are in Toronto for NXNE on June 18 & 19.

And the full length debut album from Brooklyn’s The Drums will include the fan favorite single “Let’s Go Surfing.” Originally the track was left off the record, but the band changed their minds saying it would be “like going to see a band live and them missing out the song that got you into them in the first place.” The album will be released on June 7.  [NME]
