Like most rock albums released this year, Wet Band delivers their debut album solo. Many bands are known to have gone entirely solo on their debut projects. It helps register their sound as newcomers on the Rock scene. They deliver all 12 tracks of the album solo.

The new “Wet Lag” album spawned its first popular hit before it was released. The band’s debut single, “Chaise Longue” was first released in June 2021. The song became an instant success following its release. It garnered millions of streams across various streaming platforms, with the song’s official music video gaining millions of views on YouTube.

For a first release, the song gained the band a lot of acclaim across various popular publications after it went viral online. Three months after the song’s success, Wet Lag released the album’s second official single, “Wet Dream” on September 28. They promoted the song with a self-directed music video. The song will be promoted to alternative radio in the United States later on April 19.

Two months after, on November 29, the band made a double-single release, “Too Late Now” and “Oh No”. A Sci-fi was released to promote “Too Late Now”, while another music video was filmed and released for “Oh No”. Other popular singles released from the album include “Angelica” and “Ur Mum” released on February 28 and April 4. The album is full of intriguing tracks.

80’s Vibes
By ChezRobert
Originality that’s what this band brings out.Something that is severely lacking in corporate run music. With punk vibes this is going to be big because it is different and it is good.


Someone really needed to teach America to say Chaise Longue
