Avail (previously known as "Waste My Time") is a solved lostwave by indie-rock band The Burns, recorded from Minsk radio in 2010 and first posted by WatZatSong user morback in 2013.

Background[edit | edit source]

On November 5th, 2013, WatZatSong user morback posted the song for the first time without providing any additional information, but it was removed for unknown reasons.[1] On October 11th, 2014, morback added the entire song to the thread.[2]

On December 15th, 2014, user ID-Cancion reuploaded the song to YouTube,[3] and morback reuploaded the song to WatZatSong on January 7th, 2018, claiming that he recorded it from Belarusian radio station Indy Rock Radio in 2010.[4]

The song gained popularity in the lostwave community in June 2023, when it was first posted to r/lostwave by user Revolutionary_War443.[5] Due to the singer's heavy accent, nearly every word of the song was heavily debated, which made the search more difficult.[6][7]

Further correspondence with morback revealed that the song was most likely created by a non-Belarusian band, as it stopped airing on the radio in 2012, and Belarus had a law requiring 75% of music broadcast each day to be Belarusian.[8][9]

Discovery[edit | edit source]

On May 21st, 2024, Reddit user TZilantro_Slumber identified the song as "Avail" by Russian indie-rock band The Burns after a previous band he had contacted in the search, Pompeya, responded to him with the full song after their bassist Denis Agafonov found the song's music video.[10][11]
