WAVVES recently 'scammed' Mountain Dew's record label out of a crap load of money by letting them 'release' one of his songs to help Mountain Dew get more buzz for their products [link]. Many have questioned the purity of these brand based record labels and made snark-based tweet blogposts abt how they are ruining the blogosphere + the 'credibility' of artists we are supposed to take seriously. Others are 'just happy that indie bros are getting paid, since no1 is gonna buy their albums n e way.'

It seems like WAVVES and his band drink Mountain Dew on the reg. They went into a Walmart just to find multiple Mountain Dew flavors to drink them in the tour van and turn their pee green / code red. Maybe this was just a sponsored twitpic. So confused. Not sure what's real and what's marketing any more. Just want a 'pure' meme again. Tired of man-made strategic buzz memes. Not sure who 2 trust.

Not sure if WAVVES is one bro, or an entire band. I think this guy is the guitarist/drummer in the band or something. Maybe I had WAVVES all wrong--maybe he is actually a Mountain Dew bro. Saw this vid of them playing live, and sorta wish they'd mix in a synth player, some bleepy bloops [via Passion Pit / Owl City], and maybe a couple of wavves of chill.

Is WAVVES a 'band' or a '1 man sound project'?
Do yall like Mountain Dew?
Does WAVVES make authentic music?
Who will be the next artist 2 sign 2 Mountain Dew?
