Wet Wet Wet are a successful Scottish pop band who achieved numerous chart hits in the UK and worldwide during the 1980s and 1990s. Formed in Clydebank, Scotland in 1986, they took their name from the Scritti Politti song "Gettin', Havin' and Holdin'". After a split in 1999, they regrouped in 2004, releasing new music and embarking on tours.
In July 2017, *Marti Pellow* announced his departure from the band to focus on his solo career. In September 2018, *Kevin Simm* was introduced as the new lead singer. The lineup underwent further changes in May 2022 when *Tommy Cunningham* and *Neil Mitchell* left the group. At that time, *Graeme Duffin*, who had been a semi-official tour and session musician with Wet Wet Wet since their debut album, became an official member of the band.
With influences ranging from Kacy Hill to BANKS, Wet Wet Wet's sound has captivated audiences for decades. Their catchy pop tunes have stood the test of time and continue to resonate with fans around the world.

Pink Room is Wet’s new EP as part of Secretly Canadian’s Friends Of campaign, guided by the New York three-piece’s magnetic singer- songwriter Kelly Zutrau.

This follows Zutrau’s third LP, Letter Blue, which was Wet’s most collaborative release, with co-writing and co-production from Toro y Moi’s Chaz Bear, as well as Frank Ocean’s go-to keyboardist Buddy Ross. Notably, founding guitarist Marty Sulkow has rejoined the group, alongside their nimble producer Joe Valle. Altogether, they’ve helped to create Wet’s most natural- feeling and playful songs to date.

Wet released their self-titled debut EP in 2014, for the taste-making pop label Neon Gold, before moving to Columbia Records for two understated, celebrated albums, Don’t You (2016) and Still Run (2018).

“I’m always interested in multiple feelings at once,” Zutrau says. “Not just a happy song, but happy and sad and guilty — those can all be true.”This is as much a sonic statement as it is one about life: “We see these messages in music and media that are very black and white, but our lives don’t really live up to those expectations. Instead, we’re somewhere in the middle of all these states that are much easier to explain.”
