Pale Waves are an English rock band from Manchester, formed in 2014. The band was formed when lead singer and guitarist Heather Baron-Gracie met drummer Ciara Doran while attending university in Manchester. Guitarist Hugo Silvani and bassist Charlie Wood joined the group, completing the lineup. Their early work has been described as 80s-inspired indie rock or synth-pop, while their second and third albums incorporate elements of the pop-punk genre. After signing with Dirty Hit in 2017, Pale Waves released their debut single, 'There's a Honey,' followed by 'Television Romance.' In 2018, the band ranked fifth in the BBC Sound of 2018 poll and received the NME Under the Radar Award at the NME Awards. Their debut EP, 'All the Things I Never Said,' was released in February 2018. They have released several albums, including 'My Mind Makes Noises' (2018), 'Who Am I?' (2021), 'Unwanted' (2022), and 'Smitten' (2024).

Lyrics
Over sixty acts have been revealed in an extensive first wave for Hamburg festival.
Backstage at Reading, the band talk maybe-new-eras, crowd anxiety and refusing to find new bands to like.
Manchester alt-pop band Pale Waves announces October tour dates across UK and Ireland, focusing on often-overlooked cities and venues.
Embracing romance and letting go of the past, Pale Waves return with their most liberating album yet.
The band's new album is out later this month.
The track explores the conflict between love and religion.
It comes off the back of their not-so-secret comeback at Dork's Night Out earlier this year.
We're back with the three-and-a-half times Dork cover stars.
It comes off the back of their not-so-secret comeback at Dork's Night Out last month.
