Holy Wave is a psychedelic pop band from Austin, Texas, formed in 2008 by Kyle Hager and Julián Ruiz, who grew up alongside Ryan Fuson and Joey Cook in El Paso.

Their sixth studio album, i'm DADA, came out in July 2026 on Suicide Squeeze Records - recorded in Ensenada, Mexico with experimental duo Lorelle Meets the Obsolete.
