Waterparks might just be the biggest band of tomorrow. Their magnetic pull has attracted a growing cohort of devoted fans who have propelled the Houston, TX-raised genre-busting collective to internationally sold out headline tours including a 2024 tour that saw them sell out the likes of The Palladium in Los Angeles and Terminal 5 in New York, and saw their 2023 album Intellectual Property to #1 on Billboard’s Alternative Album chart in the US + Top 10 Album chart in US & UK. Today, they return with their anthemic new single, ‘Red Guitar’ ahead of their performances on the main stage at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in August.
“This is the first song back from the best band in the world, Waterparks,” quips Awsten Knight on their first release on new label home, BMG. “After a year of trials and tribulations, we have arisen from the smoke, like Captain America — maybe Iron Man instead. I haven’t seen most of those movies. However Infinity War ended, probably. RIP Ant Man. This is the best song from a band in the last 10 years, ask anyone. Either this song or the next one will be our biggest one, again, ask anyone. RIP Iron Man. Stream the song until we make physicals and then go buy one of those. It’s a plaque attack, baby. I love you. God help us all. Thanks!”
