Nathan Williams, under the name Wavves, is a noise pop musician based in Los Angeles, California. He released his self-titled debut LP in 2008 and has since gained notable media attention from the internet, and other areas including Pitchfork and ABC News. After gaining recognition, Ryan Ulsh was enlisted as a touring drummer and Wavves embarked on their first US and European tours. Originally signed to Fat Possum Records, he released his second full-length album Wavvves with them in 2009 and his third album, King of the Beach, on August 3rd 2010. King of the Beach features a complete rhythm section comprised of Stephen Pope and Billy Hayes, both formerly of the late Jay Reatard's touring band.

On March 26, 2013 Wavves released their 4th studio album "Afraid of Heights" on Mom + Pop records. Jacob Cooper left the band in 2013.
