Episode 1405: Brooklyn Indie/Emo Trio, Wakelee

Chris Collins Show

Brooklyn Emo band Wakelee joins STRIKE A CHORD to discuss their upcoming self-titled album, Wakelee. We all saw it and we need to address it. What happened to Rihanna’s Super Bowl 2023 HalfTime show? The performance was lackluster at best. BUT what did Howard Stern say that has everyone getting their twitter accounts cancelled—Wakelee has some sage advice for live performances! Alex (vocals/guitar) and David (drums) are identical twins and the triplet that went wrong is Elliot (vocals/bass)—so how do some Jersey bros link up with an Oregon player? This is a first! Urban Dictionary doesn’t have a definition for Wakelee. BUT it’s the perfect opportunity for the band to provide a backstory on how they named their band—although it’s the last place you would expect. The feeling of not knowing how to feel after something bad happens is spot on for Wakelee’s single “Mood Rings.” Sometimes we can be a "tin can"—having difficulty processing emotions and expressing feelings is confusing. Should I be angry, sad, mad, happy or glad. Is that profound enough or am I in Oz? Having an identical twin has some advantages. There’s a world of possibilities where we can swap roles at any time. BUT does that work with relationships? Enoughs, enough! Time to get this album out and we can’t wait to hear what Wakelee delivers. Follow, support and listen: https://www.wakeleemusic.com
