Wakey Wakey (band)

Wakey Wakey is an American indie rock band formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2006. The band is fronted by singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Grubbs, who is known for his distinctive vocals and piano-driven compositions.

Wakey Wakey gained national attention when their song "War Sweater" was featured as the theme song for the television series One Tree Hill. This exposure helped them to build a dedicated fanbase and led to increased recognition for their subsequent albums.

The band's musical style blends elements of indie rock, pop, and folk, characterized by Grubbs' introspective lyrics and often emotionally charged performances. Their songs frequently explore themes of love, loss, and personal growth.

Wakey Wakey has released several studio albums, including Silent As A Mouse (2007), Almost Everything I Wish I'd Said the Last Time I Saw You... (2010), Golden Rules (2014), and Overreacting (2018). They have toured extensively throughout the United States and Europe, playing both headline shows and supporting other established artists.

The lineup of Wakey Wakey has varied over the years, but core members have included, in addition to Grubbs, musicians on drums, bass, and guitar.
