Pale Waves

Pale Waves are an English indie rock band from Manchester, formed in 2014. It was founded originally as Creek when lead singer and guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie met drummer Ciara Doran while attending university in Manchester. The band was joined by guitarist Hugo Silvani and bassist Charlie Wood, completing the lineup. The band's early work was often described as 80s-inspired indie rock or synth-pop. With their second album, however, the band began to experiment with the pop-punk genre.
