Look busy, as the saying goes. The Isle of Wight five-piece founded by Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers have been plenty busy on these pink digital pages and literally everywhere else lately, dropping certified SOTY-contending banger ‘catch these fists’ exactly a month ago, the first taste of hot shit new album moisturizer on July 11. The animated track landed on our V List roundup of our favorite songs of April, and Fanduel odds are highly lucrative […]

The whipsmart English band is back with a new single, on April Fool’s Day no less, and it’s a noisy number dubbed “catch these fists” that’s sure to cause a ruckus. The punchy track is the first taste of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers’ sophomore album moisturizer, set for July 11 release via Domino, and it sets a provocative tone as the band fend off unwanted advances from a belligerent bloke […]

The uber-hott British duo of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers are pretty much everywhere these days (including Boston’s Paradise Rock Club back in March), and now they’re set to make a sonic appearance at your local indie dance night. Belgian duo Soulwax have given the club touch to Wet Leg’s “Too Late Now,” and it’s getting us revved up the way those old MGMT and […]

But really every week is a week for Wet Leg, especially this one, as the Isle of Wight twosome of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers today (April 4) release a new single in “Ur Mum” that’s […]

We know it’s practically bursting out of you. “I saw Wet Leg before they were big…” “…and I bought the tickets when they barely had five songs out.” Feel better?  More than 900 people in Boston earned those bragging rights last night (March 7) at The Paradise Rock Club, as a sold-out crowd witnessed the whip-smart wisecracks of a group we can confidently declare the “it” band of 2022 (and 2021, and 2023, and maybe every […]
