The Ocean. That album was hailed by critics as emotional, nouveau indie at its finest. Following the release of an extended version of said record, <\/p>\n<p>The Wombats begin their biggest tour cycle in Florida this week, including this Beacham gig. \u201cX-Rated,\u201d a single from the deluxe LP, might just be the apex of the band\u2019s vibrant melancholia. Fast-paced, punchy and upbeat, \u201cX-Rated\u201d sets you up for a perfect beach day musically, while also also detailing the insecurities following a dying relationship. <\/p>\n<p>A remix of the band\u2019s 2015 song \u201cGreek Tragedy\u201d went viral on TikTok in 2021, with the audio soundtracking over 400,000 videos. The remix gave the song new life and introduced The Wombats to a new audience \u2014 a new audience that will doubtless show out this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, The Beacham, 46 N.
