The Wharves

**The Wharves** are a London-based trio serving up a scrappy, charming blend of garage rock, folk-punk, and surfy harmonies. Formed in the early 2010s by guitarist/vocalist Dearbhla Minogue, bassist/vocalist Marion Andrau, and drummer Aurelieie Mollaret, the band carves out a playful yet sharp-edged sound defined by interlocking vocals, lo-fi energy, and lyrics that wink at feminist themes with wit and warmth. Their DIY ethos and penchant for catchy, off-kilter melodies have made them cult favorites in the UK indie scene.

With releases like *At Bay* (2016) and *Electa* (2023), The Wharves refine their mix of ramshackle energy and sly songwriting, while singles like 2021’s "Naz / My Will" showcase their knack for pairing sardonic social commentary with infectious hooks. Known for their deadpan humor and tangled vocal harmonies, they’ve shared stages with acts like The Wave Pictures and Shopping, earning a reputation as a live act that’s equal parts chaotic and endearing.
