A Scottish pop band best known for the 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' ballad 'Love Is All Around'.
If you only know 'Love Is All Around,' try 'Sweet Little Mystery' from their debut. It shows the band's sound before the movie ballad took over.
For a lot of people, Wet Wet Wet is that band from 'Four Weddings and a Funeral.' Their song 'Love Is All Around' was everywhere in 1994, but they had been building a pop career for years before that. Tracks like 'Sweet Little Mystery' and 'Goodnight Girl' showed they could write solid, melodic hits without a movie soundtrack. Even later songs like 'Angeline' kept that same accessible, slightly soulful pop sound going.
They formed in Scotland in the 1980s and released their debut 'Popped In Souled Out' in 1987. The 'Four Weddings' moment in 1994 became their defining chapter, though they kept recording through lineup changes and a hiatus. They returned to playing live in 2014, drawing from albums like 'Holding Back the River' and 'High on the Happy Side.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
