In three short years since their first show, wilt has become one of the buzziest bands in LA’s emerging alt rock scene, with over 12m streams and 100m views on Instagram and TikTok. With an ever-growing following, their debut single, “gwen” was met with great enthusiasm, rapidly reaching a global audience through the band’s viral content. wilt’s follow-up singles in 2023 and self-titled EP in 2024 accelerated their vertical trajectory.
The outfit counts Hole, Radiohead, Weezer, and Mannequin Pussy among their influences, and dynamic frontwoman Chelsea’s vocal prowess have drawn comparisons to Hayley Williams, Debbie Harry, and Joan Jett.
Over the past two years, the band has cut their teeth supporting the likes of The Warning, Destroy Boys, and Lovejoy. However, this year has seen wilt selling out headline shows across major cities in the US in their own right. With a debut album and more tour dates on the horizon, wilt is primed for an explosive 2026.
