Reviews"In addition to its fast-paced punk tunes, KING OF THE BEACH also features a handful of mellow tracks with shimmering guitar lines and Brian Wilson-esque vocal layering...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Williams' gift for melody, harmonies and choruses rise above the hiss of laptop speakers....A devilishly fun listen...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "KING OF THE BEACH's specialty is Warped Tour-ready choruses, charred with noise and peppered with lyrics from a self-hating surfer teen who sees sunburn as spiritual penance for being a burnout.", "The Album Is Saturated with High Poly-Harmonies, Fingersnaps and Hand Claps...", 3 stars out of 5 -- "This set deals -- albeit fleetingly -- with actual relationships, as well as Williams' own demons.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Buzzing wide-eyed and joyful throughout, WAVVES blends the sand and girls fixation of early BEACH BOYS with frizzled Phil Spector pop..."
