Awesome Wells

Awesome Wells

Awesome Wells is a group associated with indie, britpop, riot grrrl, alternative and jingly jangly boys. It is based around Red Deer Club and is described as being formed with a shared love of Ace of Base and a sense of mild disgust. The group presents itself through a deliberately surreal image, but the durable facts in its description are that it operates as a band project and is connected to Red Deer Club.

The group’s stated purpose is to encourage “reluctant nuns” to exchange one habit for another and take up rock music instead. Its name and presentation sit within a comic, abrasive style that mixes religious imagery, social-club references and pop-cultural figures. The description frames the act as part of a playful but confrontational indie and alternative setting.

Awesome Wells has an online presence through a bandcamp page and a Facebook page.
