About
Wasps! Formed in January 2026 Wasps! are a post-punk indie five -piece from Stockport, blending infectious guitar hooks with punchy rhythms and a wry lyrical edge.
Hailing from the musical breeding ground just south of Manchester, their sound reflects both the grit and charm of their hometown, quick- witted, emotionally charged and never short on bite.
Led by lead singer/guitarist Steve Edge with Paul Gee on lead guitar, Mark Woolfenden on bass, John Mangan on drums and Manfred Göetz on percussion the band have already released two singles - their debut Posterity and Chasing The Moon, with a third single Sociopath (all three produced by the legendary Christophe Bride - A Certain Ratio, The Chameleons), due for release in September.
The band are currently writing and recording new material for release later in 2026

Latest Release
Chasing The Moon
Single • 2026
Chasing The Moon was released on the day of the full moon - 29th July 2026 (see what we did there?!)
Wasps! second release is an altogether different beast than their debut.
An atmospheric guitar led tale of unrequited love, this is an anthemic and emotionally charged track with a strong sense of momentum, that builds to a satisfying, climactic guitar solo.
Posterity
Single • 2026
Posterity is Wasps! debut single.
Released on 15th May 2026, Posterity has a vibrant, punchy vibe with an upbeat punky/reggae groove, sometimes reminiscent of the Clash, featuring choppy guitars, an effortlessly addictive chorus and a brilliant extended dub ending. It's the kind of song that feels made for a loud room, a packed dancefloor and a crowd singing back every word!
