About The Band
Dive headfirst into the electrifying world of the Wave Raiders, a dynamic trio of punk rock prodigies with the energy of a lightning storm and manners that would make your Nanna proud. Their stage presence is nothing short of electric, and their musical prowess is simply unbelievable.
Imagine this. The Caloundra Music Festival is set ablaze as the Wave Raiders crash onto the main stage alongside Spiderbait, taking thousands of fans on a musical rollercoaster ride that leaves them screaming, “I can’t believe they’re kids”! Their performance is so intoxicating, that Spiderbait couldn’t resist but ask for an encore collaboration.
Hailing from the Sunshine Coast, the Wave Raiders draw inspiration from global legends like Blink 182 and Green Day and they’ve shared the spotlight with other industry greats like James Reyne, Kingswood, and Choir Boys. Their songs are catchy tales of sun-soaked adventures, and they tackle the real issues that resonate with the youth of today.
The Wave Raiders have already taken the music scene by storm, gracing stages at renowned festivals and venues, including the Byron Bay Bluesfest, Airlie Beach Festival of Music, Caloundra Music Festival, Kick Ass Music and Camping Festival, and many more. Their debut single launch at Solbar pulled in a wall-to-wall crowd of over 400 fans – proving this band’s got the chops to pack a house!
These punk rock rebels have left their mark in the studio too, recording their first four singles with Steve James, an internationally renowned producer, Grammy nominee and Aria Award winner, who has produced bands such as The Screaming Jets, The Angels, Cold Chisel, and Skunkhour. They’ve also wrapped up some epic co-writing sessions with Cameron McGlinchey from Rogue Traders and The Screaming Jets, the tracks to be featured on their upcoming EP.
Meet the masterminds behind the music – Pete, the frontman extraordinaire on lead guitar and vocals, and the rhythmic prodigies, Tom on drums, and Jayden on bass guitar and vocals. They possess passion, undeniable natural talent and were born for the stage!
As for their future, it’s a thrilling mystery waiting to be unravelled. The only certainty? The Wave Raiders are on an unstoppable trajectory to the pinnacle of the music industry.
