Yeah - it’s a strange name, but they’ve become my new favorite band. I actually flew from Boston to Chicago to see them back in DEc. and have plans to see them again in NY at the Governor’s Ball and also Mohegan Sun CT in June.
Their album Moisturizer is simply one of the best rock albums I’ve heard in a long time. Start to finish, it’s just super catchy, smart and sexy. Leading the way is super hot singer Rhian Teasdale, who is a star in the making.
Their 1st album is also really good - Chaise Lounge is a killer track.
If you have not heard them, give them a listen, or better yet, check out some YouTube videos, or best yet catch them live - fun, exciting stuff!

great band!

Saw them at Paradiso Amsterdam in November 2025. Great band.

Interesting - I‘ve been a huge fan of their debut and even went to see them live (which was great).

The second album lacked the innovation and originality of the debut to me.

Rian!
Saw their first show here in NYC at the Mercury Lounge 2 yrs ago then last summer in Central Park.

Fun show,
Young crowd.

Saw them twice last year, one at a music festival, the other on their headlining U.K. tour. Enjoyed both immensely. A rightful successor of the good ol’ indie spirit and attitude.

I prefer Rhian’s former look to her current masculine self-presentation, though. I haven’t given a listen to their sophomore album yet, but I feel they have started to take themselves a bit too seriously, which is an ominous sign.

Hope I will prove wrong.

Really like what I have heard from them, some songs are a little strange but the singer pulls it off well.

I wasn't expecting to read anything about them here; in any case, great band!

I understand the sex appeal - the singer not the song. The music? They sound like a hundred other bands. Can't tell the difference. Sex sells though. It always has.

Are they ‘sexy’?
Yes, there is some innuendo in their songs, but I don’t think they sell sex in the same way Madonna does for example.

Interesting that it seems BV changed the Topic heading on the post. Not sure why?

Hey - it’s his site, I guess he can do what he wants…but kind of authoritarian.

Check out the Lambrini Girls.

Yes, I noticed and was puzzled by that title change

Trust fund props with plenty of daddy's connections. Less music by toffs please.

Interesting! And reminds me of a killer track from a band I loved (they called it quits) The Blakes - Vampire

Thanks - just gave them a quick snippets listen. Fun! Remind me a bit of another newer band I’m liking - Amyl and the Sniffers, also good and punky, and on the bill on the same day as Wet Leg at the Governor’s Ball in NY in June. Can’t wait!

Saw Lambrini Girls at a music festival in 2024. Energetic, loud, noisy, intense — not much else. Wasn’t impressed that much but it’s just me. They are garnering a lot of attention these days.

...And another good one: Amyl And The Sniffers. Highly recommended.

Also: The Last Dinner Party.

Amyl And The Sniffers are fun to watch.
As for The Last Dinner Party…does anybody remember they supported The Rolling Stones on the second day of the BST Hyde Park 2022 under the moniker, The Dinner Party? They left me no more than a mediocre impression. Never imagined they would be hyped up as much as today.

I have friends that luv Last Dinner Party. I gave their recent album a listen - didn’t do much for me. Wasn’t ‘bad’, but certainly didn’t knock me out (like my 1st listen of Wet Leg).

Bit of a dinosaur viewpoint - one can be attractive and the lead singer of a popular, award winning band at the same time. Reducing it to sex appeal is incredibly disrespectful to women in general

Yes, exactly. We can talk about music without talking about the looks of a female singer (it's only done when women are involved). Wet Leg managed to bring rock music back on the radio (together with other more recent rock bands of course) and they are great live!

Well, I glanced through some live videos on Youtube. Noticed that she often performs in, more or less, her underwear. Certainly you can call me disrespectful to women for pointing out that.
You can also call me a dinosaur for thinking that women can be attractive on stage keeping their clothes on. I have no problem with that.

She can perform nude if she wants to. I don't mind that. But I would point out that sex is a factor here.

In a way that you wouldn’t point it out if it was a man. Hey ho let’s move on….

Even if you didn’t call Stoneage a sexist, you‘re subliminally suggesting he is which is not fair to him.

This has nothing do to with gender. Even male acts sell much better if they are hot. Young Mick Jagger has been sexy as f… (still is for his age). I bet the Stones wouldn’t have been as successful if Mick hadn’t been that hot. It’s just the way human nature is. And not just in music business, attractive people have it easier in all areas of life, male or female alike.

While I do like the music of Wet Leg a lot, I do for example find the music of Harry Styles quite mediocre and do not think he would be almost remotely as successful if he wasn’t that good looking.

It‘s just the way to world works, not a ‚dinosaur viewpoint‘ at all. Sex sells, always has and always will

Generally I agree with the points you made here, except that it feels to me like Wet Legs Leg don’t sell sex in the same sense or manner as a number of modern female pop singers do, e.g. Dua Lipa, Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter to name a few. As compared to these pop queens, the way Rhian presents sexuality is weird and freaky.

Sex sells. See Taylor Swift presenting herself with The Life Of A Showgirl, her latest album and its promotion.

i agree, Dua Lipa and Sabrina Carpenter are a whole nother level of „sex sells“ than Wet Leg. Wet Leg didn’t start out that way, but the recent live shows show quite a lot of skin. This is neither good or bad but certainly a factor that grabs people’s attention, sometimes before they listen to any music.

Musical garbage.A better idea is viewing their muted videos .Take out the eye candy and it’s less interesting.
