Teesdale and Chambers started the set with the droning jam-ballad, “Being in Love.” It was arguably the weakest moment of the show. “It’s early in the afternoon, so I feel like going to EDM this early would be hard to sustain,” he said in reference to the often chaotic slew of electronic dance music and DJ sets happening during the day.Īlthough the show started off “chill,” the vibe didn’t last. Jacob Brown, an Evanston native and stranger to Wet Leg, who showed up early to the field at the Discord stage after hearing rapper Jasiah, said he came as a means of “killing time,” as well as hearing something a little more “chill.” The band came into being in 2019, so the relatively new artists still have a bit of work to do before winning over the popularity and discerning ears of American listeners. By the end of the show, a mosh pit had formed near the front in rhythm to the chorus of “Chaise Longue.” Wet Leg performed an afternoon show at Lollapalooza’s Discord stage on July 29, which started with a bit of reluctance from a somewhat static crowd before transforming as the hour went by. Wet Leg’s humor may sometimes be immature, but, aside from a somewhat furtive start at Lollapalooza on Friday, it’s developing into an exceptionally creative, smart and eclectic band that deserves to be near the spearpoint of a hopefully up-and-coming British indie invasion. “Is your muffin buttered?” Teasdale sang on chart-topper “Chaise Longue.” “Would you like us to assign someone to butter your muffin?” The pair’s music is catchy, and their lyrics are a type of funny that one can almost hear in the half-baked inside jokes that eventually blossomed into indie-punk meditations on the mundane. The duo have since carved out a niche in the already crowded genre of lyrical indie-punk rock, similar to bands like Dry Cleaning and Idles. Wet Leg is made up of Rhian Teasdale and Hester Chambers from the Isle of Wight, which is a small speck south of the United Kingdom.

Wet Leg has done it in about three years. Watch out for more new music from Wolf Rd in the weeks and months ahead.It can sometimes take musicians a decade - or their entire careers - to make it to Lollapalooza, let alone to travel internationally to play at the festival.

Most people change for the better, but sometimes a person who was really important to you gets older and becomes somebody you can’t stand to be around anymore.” Growing up sucks, and a big part of that is people change. I think a lot of people might not catch that right away, because of how aggressive the song is musically. Speaking about the song’s lyrics, Hoffmann continues “Burn All Of Your Bridges is about growing apart from someone you used to feel close to. It’s like if a metalcore song was an opera with different movements and sections.” Burn All Of Your Bridges is our ‘Stairway To Heaven’ – it has so many different pieces. We spent a lot of time writing our most brutal riffs and breakdowns, and then finding ways to connect them together within a single song. Wolf Rd frontman Chris Hoffmann says, “We wanted to create a song that takes fans on a journey, both emotionally and sonically.

Wolf Rd’s gripping live performances have received critical acclaim from both fans and industry veterans thanks to the group’s high energy stage presence and engaging crowd participation. The group’s diverse sonic spectrum ranges from pop-punk party bangers with anthemic emo hooks to electronic dance synths, monstrous guitar riffs, and breakdowns that will have you throwing hands in the mosh pit. Wolf Rd (“wolf road”) is a rock band from Chicago, Illinois that combines an eclectic mix of influences to create a sound that is catchy and accessible, yet refreshingly unique.
