Los Angeles rockers Wavy Trees are back with a brand-new single, “Nothing But You”, released March 21, 2025.

Blending the energy of garage-punk with hard rock riffs and a spacey new vibe, Wavy Trees deliver a song that’s all about falling head over heels—over and over again.

Even better, they’ve paired the track with a stunning PS1-style 3d animated music video that perfectly matches the nostalgic, heartfelt chaos of the single.

Q&A Between Switching Styles’ Dylanna Fisher And The Band Wavy Trees

Wavy Trees is composed of lead vocals/lead guitarist Zack Smith, guitarist Jason Espiritu and bassist Brian Duke.

We caught up with Wavy Trees to talk about “Nothing But You,” the making of the song and video, and what’s next for the band.

What inspired the creation of your latest single, “Nothing But You”?

“Nothing But You” was inspired by being in love, but falling in love with everyone I meet when we travel. Also just messing everything up along the way.

In what ways does the single build on or differ from your previous releases?

This single has a more spacey vibe than our other singles, which I think we will implement in future releases.

What message or emotion do you hope listeners take away from this track?

I want people to feel love through the speakers or headphones!!!

Can you walk us through the writing and recording process for the song?

The song started with a sample drum Jason had, then I just channeled most of the lyrics, sort of like a freestyle. The dead speak through me.

Were there any unexpected challenges or standout moments while working on it?

We never sample drums, but we did on this track, and it made life way easier lol.

What does your typical songwriting collaboration look like as a band?

I usually come up with the basic song idea on an acoustic or with logic, or Jason/Brian will have a riff, and we will just jam & it will all come together naturally mostly. We all have really good chemistry.

Is there a particular lyric or section of “Nothing But You” that holds special meaning for you?

Probably the “I’m just stupid, I know nothing, I’m never gonna ever figure it out” Because I feel like that on a daily basis, and it felt very authentic, especially to how I was feeling at the time. I don’t know if I will ever figure anything out, so I just ride the wave where it takes me.

How did the track evolve from its original demo to the final version we hear today?

In our living rooms, do-it-yourself.

The PS1-style 3d animated video is such a creative, nostalgic touch—what inspired that direction?

That was all Jaybird, our guitar genius. He’s the goat and one of the most creative people I’ve ever met in my life, We are lucky to have him in this band!!

What was the process like to achieve that retro visual style? Any challenges along the way?

Hours of not sleeping and staring at a screen till Jason’s eyes bled. Then, working 3 jobs in between. DIY

Are there any Easter eggs or hidden nods in the video that fans should keep an eye out for?

On the buildings in the music video, there are a bunch of easter eggs. Hahaha – I’ll let you watch them and find out for yourselves!

How have fans been responding to “Nothing But You” so far?

Honestly, it has been really insane, we’ve, no joke, had people contact us saying we saved their marriage or that the song inspired them to pop the question to get married lol. I honestly love that it’s being spread out, a lot of people say Pandora is how they heard it, which kinda surprises me lol.

Are there any upcoming collaborations, projects, or tour plans in store for 2025?

We have a couple of crazy collaborations in the works that are gonna be WILD! Can’t really release the info yet, but stay tuned! We’d love to tour, so anyone reading this – bring us on the road with you! We are ready to roll tomorrow!

What’s next for Wavy Trees?

We are gonna be content cows and play the system game that all these labels wanna see because it’s not about how good your music is anymore, it’s about “NUMBERS” LOL (joke) (kinda).

Anything else you’d like to share?

We are just happy to be a band and doing what we love at the end of the day, it surprises me that we have listeners all over the world. If any of you know anyone who can help us get closer to the toaster and get this show on the road. Contact us or Araya (our manager)! This is like buying bitcoin at $1. Don’t be the person who misses the boat.
