Slowly assembled together after years of “life's wonderful lived experiences” - at college, at Green Man festival, on Gumtree adverts, at gigs - Wakey Wakey Rise & Shine
eventually emerged in Bristol in 2020. Influenced by the likes of King Gizzard and the
Lizard Wizard, Snapped Ankles, and the New Wave trailblazers DEVO and B-52s, the
band came to define their Psychedelic/post-punk sound; frilly psychedelic melodies
fused with the fuzzed-up fury of high-octane post-punk, all powered by an embrace of all
things silly and irreverent: “fun and mischievous ways of expressing yourself within art is
probably an artist's greatest weapon”, explains Seamus, “Collectively we enjoy being a bit
silly with our ideas and keeping the writing process interesting and playful.”
The band have been generating new fans through their unpredictable live shows with their music receiving airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Introducing in the West and featured in The Unsigned Guide's Spotlight blog.
