A wise man may have once said, “Our lives are nothing more than a series of reactions.” Everything we do is a response to something that has come before; we’re never satisfied, always pushing and searching for something more to inspire us or take us some place new. It’s a concept that often pops up in popular music—and the new project from Zach Rogue, songwriter/brains behind the underrated indie-pop outfit Rogue Wave, is a perfect example....

Rogue Wave's Zach Rogue took off for Bloomington, Indiana last summer with little more than an acoustic guitar and some unfinished songs on his mind. His destination, the increasingly prolific Russian Recording, run by his pal Mike Bridavsky. Once there, Rogue, who's songs have been featured in "Napoleon Dynamite," "Heroes," and "Weeds," among other notable productions, put together an intimate collection of songs in a project he's called, Release The Sunbird.
Local collaborators, drummer Pete Shreiner, bassist/vocalist Kenny Childers and vocalist Kate Long helped Rogue lure out these sun dappled charms, a slight departure from Rogue Wave's more raucous last release, "Permalight." The album, titled "Come Back To Us" releases July 26th on Brushfire Records.

It’s the band’s first studio effort since frontman Zach Rogue, due to complications following two slipped discs, temporarily lost the use of his hand (still numb now, but Rogue can play again) and drummer Pat Spurgeon experienced kidney failure and was saved by a living-donor transplant. But through it all, the band not only recorded what may be their most upbeat album yet, but it still looks like they’re having a great time, judging by the photos on their tour blog (doing...

It’s not surprising to see Rogue Wave in a different place than where the world last found it: The California outfit has consistently shifted its sonic priorities, going from souped-up indie-rock solo project on 2003’s Out Of The Shadow to big and dreamy on 2005’s Descended Like Vultures to dense (and unfortunately a bit lethargic) with 2007’s Asleep At Heaven’s Gate. Now the band has focused its attention on having fun, a response to leader Zach Rogue finally being able to move after two herniated disks left him debilitated for months. (The group is no ...
