Soft Bait is a four-piece indie rock band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2018, the band consists of vocalist and guitarist Jake Cusack, bassist and vocalist Emily Beanblossom, guitarist and vocalist Max Garcia, and drummer and vocalist Nick Sylvester. Their music is characterized by its catchy melodies, jangly guitars, and introspective lyrics. Soft Bait has released two EPs, "Plot Points" and "True Stories," and is currently working on their debut album.

The band's name is a reference to the fishing lure of the same name. Cusack has said that the name reflects the band's "bait-and-switch" approach to songwriting, where they often start with a catchy hook or melody and then subvert expectations with their lyrics. Soft Bait's music has been praised for its originality, intelligence, and emotional resonance.
