Rogue Wave

Rogue Wave is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Nada Surf, Mock Orange, Buddy Holly, Pixies and Kim Carnes. Those roots explain a lot about how Rogue Wave arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Coconut Records, The Long Winters, Pete Yorn, Tapes 'n Tapes and Voxtrot, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Blitzen Trapper, Still Corners and The Album Leaf, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 25 connections around Rogue Wave, reaching back through Nada Surf and forward to Blitzen Trapper.
