Blue Wave Theory is an American instrumental rock band formed in 2007 in southern 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, 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, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, Rush, to the funk of Dennis Coffey and psychedelic surf of The Mermen. Blue Wave Theory is also inspired by a broad resume of their successful independent musical ventures. The band's music is entirely instrumental: electric guitar (Steve Rabeler), electric bass (Kevin Stamper), and drums (Rob Wolleben). The insistence for each musician in this trio to keep true to their personal styling and talent gives Blue Wave Theory a distinctive stamp of uniqueness and creativity.
