LATEWAVES formed on the beaches of Asbury Park, NJ in 2016. Mike Pellegrino, Shawna Grabowski and Howie Cohen 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.
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 that values self-growth.
