Hometown Alt-Rock Duo Midwave Breaks invite you to celebrate the release of their first full-length album, Echo. Tide. Awake.
Since launching in 2021, Midwave Breaks have captivated fans, across airwaves and stages around New Zealand, with 8 independent radio singles hitting the NZ Top 10 Rock Airplay Charts, a nod for Best Rock Act at the 2024 Aotearoa Music Awards, and Highlight-Reel live performances in support of Incubus, Live, and Devilskin.
As a two-piece, Midwave Breaks deliver a huge sound, infectious live energy, and dynamic performance.
Special Guests include Taranaki’s Courtnay and The Unholy Reverie - ‘Cinematic swamp rock blues soaked in grit, ritual, and raw power’ And Heavy-punk Heroes Not Exact from Waihi Beach
Echo. Tide. Awake. is the first full-length studio album from Midwave Breaks, featuring 13 new tracks for 2026 – all written, recorded, mixed, and mastered by the band themselves, in the spare room of a farmhouse, overlooking the Bay of Plenty coastline in New Zealand. Midwave Breaks reimagine the sounds of their youth through a modern lens, epitomized by 80’s-90’s alternative rock/pop - evoking hints of Springsteen and Petty, Cornell and Vedder, and a melting pot of musical influences from past to present. The album explores cyclical themes of time and perspective, reframing the past to better illuminate the present.
