History[edit]

Wave to Earth was formed[3] when Kim Daniel and Shin Dongkyu were in middle school. They said they formed a band with the ambition of "showing music that makes a new wave."[2] They debuted[4] with the single 'wave' on August 23, 2019 with a new member Soonjong Cha. While the three of them are the official members, the session members also include Jo Jung-geun (keyboard), Jeon-min (saxophone), and Hong Seung-gi, an artwork member. They released two EPs in January of 2020: Wave 0.01 and Summer Flows 0.02.[5] They signed with Wavy, the label where Colde is the owner, in 2021.[6] They had a live performance with La Poem on Naver Onstage.[7] In 2023, they released their first studio album, 0.1 Flaws and All.[2][8] They were included in the lineup of South Korean rock festivals, including the Seoul Jazz Festival and Pentaport Rock Festival, and The Other Festival in Indonesia.[9][10] Wave To Earth recently completed a sold-out North American tour[11] in September 2023.
