“Jaw-droppingly good title track. This is a band you definitely need to know.” - Pittsburgh In Tune

The Wet Darlings began in 2008, and released two EPs X (2010) and So Long, Lover (2011) to a solid reception both critically and as a live act. Their first full-length album "Beautiful Things" was released in October of 2015. The single "Feel Like A Friend" was the #1 most requested song on WWCD 102.5FM for over a month and landed the band back into regular rotation on Columbus, Ohio's independent alternative station. Named in The Alive's annual Bands to Watch issue with nearly one million plays on Spotify of the single "Bicycle," the band has shared the stage with artists Twenty One Pilots, Kings of Leon, British dance-rockers Deluka, MONA, Josh Krajcik (“The X Factor”), The Spin Doctors, Saintseneca, Red Wanting Blue, Lydia Loveless, and more. UWeekly Magazine called The Wet Darlings “raw and captivating,” and said their music is “dripping with pure emotional intensity… Lute's voice resonates through a crushing guitar presence.” Loud and Upfront Magazine echoed the “captivating” descriptor and elaborated by saying, “Their sound is stunning… sweet and powerful,” while 614 Magazine described their music as “a blend of sweltering big vocal sing-a-longs.”
