Soaked

Soaked is an up-and-coming indie punk band founded by Brandon Frisby in 2022. Brandon initially started the band on his own before recruiting Ronnie Cochrane on bass and Alex Newman on drums. The band draws its inspiration from iconic British punk and indie bands such as The Jam, Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, and the Sex Pistols to create their unique, passionate, and heavy sound.
 
Their chemistry and shared taste in music make for a cohesive and unique sound that has captured the attention of the British indie punk community. Soaked is currently working on releasing their EP, which has been recorded at Sick Note Production in Maldon Essex and Abbey Road Studios.
 
They have expanded their reach with shows in London and other major cities such as Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Norwich, and Brighton. Their music is characterized by raw and authentic lyrics that express the essence of British daily life, while their energetic and dynamic live performances have won them a growing and loyal fan base.
 
With the goal of touring up and down the UK, releasing more music and playing more shows, Soaked shows no signs of slowing down. As Soaked's momentum continues to grow, they are becoming one of the most exciting up-and-coming indie punk bands on the UK music scene.
