Sounds LikeActual User Testimony:

"These guys gave me a demo. It had one of those labels that stick in the slot loading dvd drive on the iMacs. Their sound is sort of lo-fi space rock a la Duster (meets Mogwai?). Some people call this sort of thing post-rock. The term post-rock is absolutely ridiculous." -----sparkrobot

"These guys bring the epic fo sho. " ----- Mark of The Luna Moth

"Waves and Radiation have made a solid name off atmospheric and ambient indie rock, the kind places like Portland go gaga for. In this rare instance, for the sake of such an inspiring band, I wish Tacoma was just a little more like PDX. But just this once. And I can do without the mustaches and pretension. I'd just like to see Waves and Radiation get the credit they deserve. " ----- Tacoma Weekly Volcano

"I'm probably the first to say that post-rock is dead and the average person doesn't even know it existed. If [post-rock] wasn't dead, I watched it die last night. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. Four awkward guys played what I can only say was a perfect performance. In true form to all of their songs the show followed a slow long climb to a sharp and painful climax...with a filth that I have not seen from a local band in years. All this ultimately climaxing in binge of feedback and distortion. A fever spreading through the band, I watched in pure adoration, and all of their gear was destroyed. I do not mean this as metaphor, they literally ripped their instruments apart while playing. Then it was done. The stage looked like a American Musical Supply vomited all over it. Post rock was dead... ...and you missed it." ---Peter No One

I was going to leave you guys a comment saying how much I liked your sound...until I looked down and saw I already did a few weeks ago. Oops, oh well it's worth repeating.
I think my band is going to be coming down to Tacoma alot in the next few months, I really hope our paths cross!

OK, Friday night's show... incredible!
The new song... love the long, spacey, bassey intro, love the KAPOW when the big guitars and drums come in, love the keyboards!!!
Fill, what you did last night was more singing than screaming this time... I liked it. I think maybe you can sing and you've been hiding it from us this whole time???
Also, sometime I would LOVE to do some guest vocals on one of your songs. :)
Let's be friends forever OK?
Love,
Rachel

The headline cracks me up, but why would anyone consider comparing you to Phish? You guys are light years ahead of their crap they put out.
