Golden Wave Award Submissions

Reverb Rising!

The Golden Wave Award

The Golden Wave Award is our premier year-end distinction, dedicated to the artists who are keeping the spirit of surf instrumental music alive while pushing the genre into new territory. From the classic reverb-drenched sounds of traditional surf to the heavy edges of surf-punk, psych-garage, and surf-fusion, we are looking for the best tracks of the year.

We invite all surf and instrumental rock bands to nominate their latest releases. Nominating your music gets your band on our radar for rolling reviews throughout the year and enters you into the running for our annual year-end award.

  • Album Reviews: High chance of earning a full, dedicated album review on Surf Music and Art.

  • Year-End Spotlight: Eligibility for the annual Golden Wave Award, including digital badges, social promotion, and a featured spot on our site.
