WIER formed in London around vocalist and songwriter Thomas Barnes, with guitarist Dean Martin, bassist Dan Smith, and drummer Jack Bennett. They spent early years playing local pubs and clubs, building a following while working through financial struggles.
The band's debut single "Best Of Us" marked a turning point, connecting with listeners through its emotional lyrics and melodic approach. The song's reception helped them move beyond the local scene.
WIER released two albums, 2018's "Echoes of Loss and Hope" and 2021's "The Weight of the World." Their sound developed around atmospheric arrangements, Barnes's vocals, and Martin's guitar work. They've worked with artists including Phoebe Bridgers and producer Jack Antonoff.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
