Echo Park’s Wet & Reckless may consist of all female members but their sound is far from dainty. Instead of taking the typical route of setting angst or journal entries to guitar chords, this rocking group transforms the naked and fragile thoughts of every girl into raw and triumphant punk anthems. Don’t be too sad for the loss of Mika Miko, because Wet & Reckless may just be the band to start the next Riot Grrrl movement. Mini Sleater-Kinney, anyone?

Emily Wilder’s compelling vocals over the potent indie rock arrangements such as “Walk Me Home” and “Take” disguise bashful thoughts about the opposite sex and come off as a soundtrack for confident women and those who love these types of women. They’re currently working on their debut LP which we’ll definitely be getting a hold of but for now, check Wet & Reckless out in our BeatCrave Fav series below!
