Blue Wave Theory: High-energy surf-inspired instrumental rock.

Blue Wave Theory is an American instrumental rock band formed in 2007 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. The group's sound is rooted in surf music of the 1960s, but delves into many genres including elements of garage, punk, psychedelic, progressive, funk, reggae, and space rock. An accomplished group of musicians whose versatility is as broad as their personal backgrounds with decades of musical influence, ranging from Dick Dale, Link Wray, X, Ramones, King Crimson, and Rush, to the funk of Dennis Coffey and psychedelic surf of The Mermen.

The band's music is entirely instrumental and performed in the classic power trio format: guitar (Steve Rabeler), bass (Kevin Stamper), and drums (Rob Wolleben). The insistence for each musician in this trio to keep true to their personal styling and inspiration gives Blue Wave Theory a distinctive stamp of uniqueness and creativity.

Blue Wave Theory and their hectic eclectic brand of instrumental surf rock has shared the stage with the legendary Dick Dale as well as some of the finest East Coast surf bands including Mister Neutron, The Octomen, and The Supertones. The band regularly performs at some of the coolest music venues in Philadelphia, New York City, and New Jersey including World Cafe Live, The North Star, The Record Collector and Otto's Shrunken Head. In addition, BWT has appeared at regional music festivals including Surfapalooza and Twangstock.

Magnatune released the eponymous "Blue Wave Theory" album in 2010. A second album "Superstorm" was released in 2013. Individual songs have appeared on instrumental surf compilations including "Off the Deep End" (2011) and "Radical Waves" (2012). BWT's music has been licensed for a wide variety of purposes including DIY Network television broadcasts, Red Bull Media House productions, and hot rod DVD's.
