50 Foot Wave

50 Foot Wave is an alternative rock band from the USA, formed in 2003. The band is fronted by Kristin Hersh, who writes the group’s songs with collaborative efforts from the other group members in composing and arranging the music. The group’s name is a reference to both an illustration and the term for the 50-foot sound wave of the lowest F tone audible to the human ear. The band was designed as a power trio, with a lineup including former Chalk FarM drummer Rob Ahlers and Throwing Muses bassist Bernard Georges.
