Wife Patrol

Wife Patrol is an energetic trio from Indianapolis, consisting of bassist and vocalist Nicole O'Neal, guitarist and vocalist Greg O'Neill, and drummer and vocalist Natasha O'Neill. The band's music is a vibrant blend of influences, drawing from '90s grunge and alt-rock, '80s pop and new wave, and '70s punk. Their sound is characterized by powerful vocal harmonies and searing riffs, showcasing a dynamic range from heavy rock to more contemplative pieces. Wife Patrol released their debut full-length album, *Too Prickly For This World*, which encapsulates their diverse musical style and collaborative songwriting process.

Nicole O'Neal, a co-founder of Indianapolis's Woo Grl Festival, has been instrumental in promoting women and underrepresented artists in the local music scene. The band's formation was sparked by a chance meeting on New Year's Eve between 2014 and 2015, and they began playing together in September 2015. Their music reflects a strong bond and creative synergy among the members, who each contribute unique elements to their songs. Wife Patrol's releases, such as *Equinox* and *Valentine Citrus*, continue to showcase their evolving sound and energetic live performances.
