Thirsty Curses bring raw energy and unfiltered emotion with Buried by The Wave, a hard-hitting track from their upcoming album Music is a Scam. Known for their punk, alt-country, and classic rock mix, the Raleigh-based band delivers an urgent, rebellious, and cathartic song. Frontman Wilson Getchell’s vocals are gritty and expressive, carrying the weight of frustration and resilience. The lyrics paint a picture of being overwhelmed by life’s struggles, with the wave serving as a metaphor for pressure, chaos, or even self-destruction.
The track opens with driving guitars and pounding drums, setting a restless, almost frantic tone. There’s an edge of defiance, though—this isn’t a song about drowning but about fighting to stay afloat. Musically, Buried by The Wave is tight and explosive. The production, handled by John Agnello (Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile), enhances the band’s dynamic sound, balancing the rawness of punk with the melodic hooks of power pop. The guitars are punchy, the bass drives the rhythm forward, and the drumming keeps everything locked in with controlled intensity. This track captures the essence of Thirsty Curses—unapologetic, high-energy, and deeply relatable. Whether you’re looking for a song to vent your frustrations or simply want to get lost in its infectious energy, Buried by The Wave delivers.
