WETLOOK spent two years creating their EP ‘Mannequin Dance,’ and their latest single, ‘Pusher,’ is shaping up to be a highlight of the collection. Hailing from Vienna but carrying strong Stockholm roots, WETLOOK have carved out a unique “space-indie rock” sound. Think sci-fi and cyberpunk vibes mashed with the raw, gritty energy of 90s indie rock. Drawing inspiration from legends like Depeche Mode, Radiohead, and The Hives, the band mixes heavy guitar riffs with classical instruments for a sound that’s both cinematic and electrifying.
At its heart, ‘Pusher’ is all about self-realization and smashing through the walls that hold you back—whether they’re built by others or by your own doubts. The song is an anthem for anyone chasing their dreams, no matter how many times they’re told “no.” The lyrics are full of introspection and metaphor, capturing the rollercoaster of determination and resilience in the face of uncertainty.
The title, ‘Pusher,’ is all about that inner voice that won’t let you quit—the one that says “Get up and go!” even when the path ahead looks impossible. It’s a track that feels like a fist-pump for your soul, reminding you to be your own biggest cheerleader.
WETLOOK don’t just stop at the music—they’ve created a whole world around their sound. With inspiration from black-and-white photography, bold fashion that screams “hero chic,” and the chilly beauty of Scandinavian winters, their aesthetic is as striking as their sound. It’s a little dystopian, a little aspirational, and completely unforgettable.

Musically, Philip drives the melodies while Daniel fine-tunes them into something fresh and futuristic. Together, they hit the sweet spot between raw indie rock energy and carefully crafted sophistication. Heavy guitar riffs crash into lush classical instrumentation, creating a sound that’s nostalgic and forward-thinking all at once.
WETLOOK aren’t just about making killer tracks—they’re on a mission to ignite something deeper in their listeners. They want you to feel unstoppable, to take bold risks, and to own your individuality. Their music, with its cinematic edge and futuristic sound, is all about sparking that fire of self-belief and action.
“Pusher” is way more than a song—it’s a rallying cry. It’s that voice reminding you that you’ve got the power to break through anything and go after what truly matters. With this single, WETLOOK make it clear: they’re not just another indie band on the rise—they’re here to leave a mark, and they’re doing it their way.
