History
Wombo was formed in 2016 by lead singer and bassist Sydney Chadwick and guitarist Cameron Lowe. Chadwick and Lowe had previously been members of a punk-pop band, The Debauchees. Once the band dissolved, Chadwick and Lowe recruited drummer Joel Taylor and made their live debut as Wombo in August 2016.[1]
On July 7, 2017, Wombo released their first EP, Staring at Trees.[3] In 2018, Wombo released their first full-length record, Blossomlooksdownuponus.[4] The album was added to streaming platforms on March 6, 2020, and reissued on vinyl by Fire Talk Records in 2021.[4][5][6]
On March 2, 2021, the group announced they signed to Fire Talk Records.[4] Three weeks later, the trio debuted "Dreamsickle", the lead single for their second EP, Keesh Mountain, which was released on May 28, 2021.[6]
Wombo released their sophomore LP, Fairy Rust, via Fire Talk on July 29, 2022.[7] The album received praise from The Fader calling the lead singles "a trove of dreams and secrets," and from Paste, describing the record as, "a fairytale written on a not-so-great acid trip."[8][9] The album garnered a 6.8 rating from Pitchfork, and positive reception from UPROXX, stating that Wombo, "created their own post-punk fairy tale..." and praised the band's "expertly executed art-rock sound that is complete with droning guitars, frenetic chords, and angular melodies."[10][11]
On June 9, 2023, Wombo released Slab, the band's third EP.[12][13] In September 2023, the band opened for Bully.[14] In October 2023, Wombo announced they would support Cherry Glazerr on their 2024 Touch of Chaos Tour.[15]
Wombo announced their third album, Danger in Fives, which released on August 8, 2025.[16]
