Wet World

Wet World is the LA-based indie/electro-pop duo of Steph Barker (vocals, drums) and Luke Atlas (guitar, vocals). After years playing together in Luke’s previous band, Coast Modern, the two formed Wet World and released their debut EP “Welcome…” in 2023. Their latest EP “gush” (June 2025) pushes their sound into a bolder, more unruly territory, with the punk-leaning queer-breakup anthem “sycophant” co-produced by Chris Lyon (Slayyyter, Rebecca Black). The collection dives deeper into their maximalist pop instincts— equal parts bratty and heartfelt, with influences ranging from MGMT and Outkast to Bikini Kill and 100 Gecs. Their undeniably fun and brash live show is not one to miss, highlighted by a sold-out set at The Echo with fellow buzzy LA-band garbagebarbie, a single release at Makeout Music with alt-duo Haute & Freddy, and a recent show in NYC with Pool Girl at The Sultan Room. An LA EP release show and pool party is planned for July 2025.
