About The Band
Wave Raiders, a trio of alternative rock disruptors from the Sunshine Coast, aren’t here to blend in – they’re here to smash cliches and carve out their own identity!
These stage-shredders have the energy of a lightning storm and have already unleashed chaos touring with The Screaming Jets, jolted 10,000 fans with Spiderbait at the final Caloundra Music Festival, and left their mark on the nation’s top festivals, from Bluesfest Byron Bay to Airlie Beach Festival of Music.
When it came time to drop their debut single, ‘Fun’, they didn’t play it safe. With Steve James, the Grammy-nominated legendary producer behind The Angels and Cold Chisel at the controls, the launch exploded, pulling a crowd of over 450 into Solbar, Maroochydore. Add a killer collab with Sarah McLeod of The Superjesus and their story keeps getting louder.
Now, they’re diving headfirst into their debut EP armed with the guidance of Cameron McGlinchey, Rogue Traders, and Steve James at the helm. Supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund*, this project promises to be as relentless and reckless as the band themselves.
Wave Raiders aren’t just riding the wave – they are the wave. Unpredictable. Loud. Impossible to ignore.
*A partnership between Queensland Government, through Arts Queensland, and the Sunshine Coast Council.
