The Wavves phenomenon has created a monster when it comes to the notion of bedroom recording artists “getting their hopes up.” But when we hear of one shining example from a 13-year old Midwestern kid, it begs the question to be asked: Is this the future of indie?

    I doubt this kid is in the 10%.
