Soaked

Soaked are a Southend-based trio tearing through the UK underground with a

raw mix of raw punk energy, anthemic indie hooks, and full-throttle rock ‘n’ roll

spirit. Born from boredom, heartbreak, and a refusal to play by the rules, they’ve

quickly made a name for themselves through explosive live shows, brutally honest

lyrics, and DIY visuals that channel their restless creativity.

Fronted by the magnetic Brandon Frisby, equal parts rebellion and charisma,

Soaked formed in 2022 when Brandon recruited childhood friend Ronnie

Cochrane on bass and discovered powerhouse drummer Alex Newman via a lucky

Instagram search. Together, the three-piece built a sound as unfiltered as their

outlook, taking inspiration from The Jam, Nirvana, and the chaos of everyday life

in Essex.

Their songs dig into youth disillusionment (‘Talk About It’), class commentary (‘Art

Degree’), and on their latest single ‘Simple Little Things’ the impact of social

media and body image pressure, all delivered with wit, heart, and a sharp sense of

purpose.

On stage, Soaked are a riot. They’ve supported the likes of The Libertines and

Skegss, the latter taking them on a full UK and European tour that earned them a

wave of new fans across the continent and early love from European promoters.

At their core, Soaked are about showing what’s possible when you just go for it.

They’re a reminder to young people that you don’t need a perfect plan or fancy

background. If they can do it, so can you.
