Circa Waves first album “Young Chasers” is a mix of Indie and alternative music, it was very popular and caused the band to become fairly well known. There next album was a change for Circa Waves as it is mostly Indie Rock. Circa Waves song “Wake Up” is about hoping the fans will accept there change in music. To show the change there album covers are completely different. One if light colours with a man in the clouds (old) and the other is what appears to be an eyeball flower.

There songs are also have meaning. The song “Different Creatures” was written about the Syrian refugee crisis. Which makes each of their songs special and unique, unlike other boy band which only right songs about girls.

There twitter is full of images and videos of the Band performing showing that they are indeed a popular band and that they are very much active. There also picture and videos of them off stage messing about, like dancing or partying etc, this show the audience that they aren’t just a band, there young adults enjoying life too.

There are also pictures and retweets with other artists. For example crica waves retweeted Nothing But Thieves tweet about there no album which shows they get along and that there music is probably similar. There is also a picture of Dave Grohl with the drummer, with the caption 'There goes my hero, watch him as he strangles me...' which is a pun of the lyrics from a song by the Foo Fighters and shows that Dave Grohl maybe an inspiration as he is a great artist.
