The Regrettes

About

The Regrettes are a Los Angeles-based band that has carved out a space in modern rock with their unapologetically raw energy and sharp social commentary. Fronted by the charismatic Lydia Night, the band blends punk rock’s rebellious spirit with the melodic hooks of 60s girl groups, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and fiercely contemporary. Their music is a kaleidoscope of influences, from the Ramones’ garage grit to the pop sensibilities of Blondie, all wrapped in lyrics that tackle themes of love, identity, and empowerment. Since their 2017 debut album *Feel Your Feelings Fool!*, The Regrettes have been a force to reckon with, earning praise for their electrifying live performances and Night’s candid songwriting. Breakout tracks like “Seashore” and “I Dare You” showcased their ability to balance youthful exuberance with biting wit. Over the years, they’ve evolved from scrappy punk upstarts to polished yet still defiant artists, as seen on their 2021 album *Further Joy*, which embraced a more expansive, synth-driven sound. The band’s cultural impact lies in their ability to resonate with Gen Z listeners, offering anthems that speak to self-discovery and resilience. They’ve collaborated with artists like Tegan and Sara and toured with acts like Twenty One Pilots, solidifying their place in the indie-rock pantheon. Currently, The Regrettes continue to push boundaries, experimenting with new sonic textures while staying true to their punk roots.
