Wife Patrol

Sifting through ‘90s grunge and alt-rock, ‘80s pop and new wave, and ‘70s punk, Indianapolis trio Wife Patrol distills everything its members love about rock with none of what is obsolete.

Wife Patrol’s shows range from Sabbath-esque riffage to Mazzy Star sweetness, while the group's tight chemistry keeps everything identifiably its own.​ Their performances caught the attention of recording engineer/producer Paul Mahern, with whom the band recorded the Orange EP, which was released in September of 2018.

The band's debut LP "Too Prickly For This World" was released in 2020. The 11-track album recorded and mixed with producer P. David Hazel (The Lemonheads, Extra Blue Kind, Bullet Points) throughout 2019. With touchstones in punk, pop, and metal – and vocal harmonies throughout – the record explores everything from power structures, toxic culture, and friendship, to the hellish winter weather phenomena of the Great Plains.
