Led by 16-year-old Lydia Night, The Regrettes have established themselves as a leading breakout band with the release of their debut album, Feel Your Feelings, Fool! The band has had a year of continued success, earning praise from Billboard, NPR, Vogue, Entertainment Weekly, BUST,and NYLON, among others, and most recently scoring a sync of their track “Hey Now” in a Dunkin’ Donuts TV commercial. The band has toured extensively throughout the past year, including shows with Taco Cat, Sleigh Bells, Kate Nash, Peaches, Cherry Glazerr and The Frights. Outspoken frontwoman Night is known for her lyrics about smashing patriarchy and rejecting societal norms, and most recently penned an essay for Medium about body positivity.
Night (vocals, guitar) is joined by members Genessa Gariano (age 20, guitar), Sage Chavis (age 19, bass) and Maxx Morando (age 18, drums), who have collectively dominated the Los Angeles punk rock scene since forming as The Regrettes in 2015. Night’s bashful, blunt attitude is reminiscent of Debbie Harry and Joan Jett, drawing listeners in to the band’s infectious – and unapologetically honest – punk-driven pop songs.
Further Praise for The Regrettes
“The band played with cool confidence when its members were just kids; now that most of them are grown, look out.”
-NPR
“[The Regrettes] delivered a set of solid pop-rock […]”
-Billboard
“Despite still being teenagers, The Regrettes performed with a learned musicianship and self-assured confidence that demanded the well-earned respect afforded veteran artists. This is not a kiddie group or trendy project assembled by industry executives in a boardroom.”
-Chicago Tribune
“Their music sounds like a lively blend of lo-fi surf rock meets The Strokes with a strong female lead-a combination sought by many but well executed by few.”
-Vogue
“With a 90’s pop/rock attitude and a vintage style reminiscent of the ’50s and ’60s, The Regrettes is a teenage band made up of kids who are clearly wise beyond their years.”
-Bust
“Their sound is reminiscent of punk acts that made waves decades prior, but Night’s insight offers listeners a fresh, in-the-moment resurgence of feminist angst.”
-Nylon
