About Wet Leg

Emerging from the windswept shores of the Isle of Wight, Wet Leg, comprised of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers, exploded onto the music scene in 2021 with a string of self-released singles that were as idiosyncratic as they were brilliant. Their debut, self-titled album, released in 2022, was met with universal critical acclaim, propelled by viral hits that quickly cemented their status as darlings of indie-pop. The band’s meteoric rise is a testament to their distinctive songwriting, effortlessly blending sharp, observational lyrics with a playful, almost nonchalant delivery.

Their sound is a masterful fusion of post-punk energy, indie-pop sensibilities, and a distinctly British sense of dry humour. Tracks like “Chaise Longue,” with its instantly recognisable, deadpan delivery and enigmatic lyrics, became a global phenomenon, leading to sold-out shows and festival headline slots across the world. Other notable hits such as “Wet Dream,” “Angelica,” and “Ur Mum” showcase their ability to craft compelling narratives that are both deeply personal and universally relatable, often exploring themes of modern life, relationships, and the often-bizarre nature of existence with a refreshing honesty and a twinkle in their eye. Their second album, “Wet Leg,” released in 2023, further solidified their unique artistic vision, delivering more of the sharp wit and inventive songwriting that fans have come to adore, proving they are far more than a flash in the pan. They have garnered numerous awards and nominations, including multiple BRIT Awards and Grammy Awards, underscoring their significant impact on contemporary music.
