Wet Bandits

Residing on the sun-drenched shores of Australia, Wet Bandits are carving a distinctive path within the indie-rock landscape. Their sound is a mesmerising blend of shimmering synths, reverb-drenched guitars and hypnotic melodies, cleverly creating a sonic tapestry that is both nostalgic and undeniably fresh. At the heart of Wet Bandits is singer-songwriter and producer, Finn Roberts. Driven by a commitment to creative freedom and the exploration of his songwriting, the Hawkes Bay, Aotearoa/New Zealand raised artist collaborates with a rotating cast of talented musicians for live performances. Reflecting a common trend among Australasian artists, Wet Bandits have, for a long time, largely been flying under the radar of local audiences and instead cultivated a dedicated and passionate international fanbase, mainly across the United States, Mexico, Brazil and the UK. This global appreciation for their creative output is vividly demonstrated by the staggering stats of their breakout single, Movies As Friends, which boasts upwards of 8 million streams on YouTube and Spotify alone. The highly prolific Roberts has consistently released EPs and albums since 2018, demonstrating a relentless drive for artistic expression. Following a relatively quiet 2024 Wet Bandits are set to make a significant return in 2025: A steady flow of fresh music and Australian live shows are already confirmed.
