Wages makes sweet pop songs that soar and swell on their debut EP, In Sun.
Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Nick Campbell, bassist Alex Hornbake and drummer James DeDakis, these three were formerly in the group Arizona before forming their current lineup (along with guitarist Clay Blair). Based in Asheville, NC, Wages’ songs jump back and forth between dreamy, delicate ballads and hard-driving rock songs. The common ground they all share, though, is great guitar work that recalls late ‘90s alternative rock and Campbell’s strong, expressive vocals. Comparisons to Band of Horses are inevitable, but Wages stands out as a band to watch, and who will hopefully have a full-length out in the future. – Written by DBosket
