Talk About It

This is 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 upcoming 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.
