Wetsuit is a Brooklyn-based band fronted by songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Allison Becker, accompanied by guitarist Anders Nils, bassist Paul DeSilva, and drummer Stephen Cadieux. Wetsuit makes "delightfully wonky indie rock" (Post-Trash) that "screams good times and fond memories; past, present, and future all bottled tight, and wrapped up in a mop of curls and one hell of a powerful voice." (Full Time Aesthetic) 

In a March 2020 quarantine origin story, Becker was stuck at her parents’ home in St. Louis when she pulled her abandoned Squier strat out of the closet. Armed with some Zoom guitar lessons, Becker began writing songs for the first time on the floor of her childhood bedroom. 

Wetsuit’s songs build with longing, never losing the purity of Becker’s bedroom songwriting within the crashing and surfy echo of her bandmates backdrop. Becker’s dynamic voice trills between tenderness and raw force, speaking in conversation with the revving melodies of Nils’ lead guitar.  

Wetsuit’s debut album "Sugar, I'm Tired" was released on August 17th 2023 via Substitute Scene Records. Purchase vinyl (only 100 copies made!) here:
