Pissed Jeans have released their take on Lou Reed’s “Waves of Fear,” the track is available via Sub Pop and DSPs. The song was recorded during the sessions for their Half Divorced. Matt Korvette says of the song, “The seasick bass riff that centers ‘Waves Of Fear’ is one of my all-time favorites, so we had to take a stab at this paranoid, self-loathing classic. I yell ‘take it Crystal!’ at the end because Crystal Waters frequently records in the same studio we had recorded in, and we were hopeful she might ad-lib some soulful vocals at the end, the next time she stopped by. Sadly it did not pan out.”

Pissed Jeans have a series of shows coming for the spring and summer of 2025 in continued support of Half Divorced. Later this week, the band will play a hometown show in Allentown, PA at Archer Music Hall. In May, the band will play Milwaukee at Cactus Club on Saturday, May 24th (with Necron 9 and Sex Scenes) and in Minneapolis at Caterwaul Festival on Sunday, May 25th. Then, on Friday, August 15th, the band will appear at the Green Man Festival in Wales (UK).

Pissed Jeans, includes Matt Korvette (vocals), Bradley Fry (guitar), Randy Huth (bass), and Sean McGuinness (drums). Half Divorced was produced and mixed by Pissed Jeans and recorded by Don Godwin with assistance from Mike Petillo at Tonal Park in Takoma Park, Maryland, and mastered by Arthur Rizk (co-producer and mixer for Why Love Now).
