Wavves and Say Anything Join Forces for Collaborative Album 'Cherry Soda'

Wavves and Say Anything have announced a joint album titled 'Cherry Soda', pairing two idiosyncratic frontmen from different corners of the 2000s alternative scene. The project follows each band's respective 2025 releases, according to Stereogum.

Lead single 'Deathx1k' previews the album's direction. Alternative Press Magazine reported that the track "channels early 2000s mall emo." Stereogum described the collaboration as an "unexpected pop-punk collaboration" between Max Bemis and Nathan Williams.

"channels early 2000s mall emo."

That description places the song squarely in the nostalgic lane that both artists have touched on before, but rarely together. The album marks a rare convergence of the two acts' distinct sounds.

"unexpected pop-punk collaboration"

Stereogum's characterization highlights how Bemis and Williams, each known for their own brand of punk-adjacent music, are now blending their approaches on a full-length project. No release date for 'Cherry Soda' has been announced beyond the single's arrival.
