The Superjesus frontwoman Sarah McLeod has thrown her support behind the Sunshine Coast’s smallest punk rockers.
Wave Raiders, whose members are aged just 12 and 14, caught the eye of the singer when they performed at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music.
The punk rock trio will release their debut single, “Fun”, at Solbar on October 13.
Loaded with an old-school rock ‘n’ roll vibe, the song is a love letter to everything that’s made their upbringing a blast.
Showing her dedication to nurturing the next generation of talent, Sarah has booked the pint-sized band for The Superjesus‘ 2025 tour.
“Wave Raiders have spunk to burn!” Sarah says.
“They set the crowd alight. Every time I’ve seen them, people stop in their tracks to watch and listen.
“That’s how I discovered them. I was walking past and BOOM.
“I’m thrilled to support these incredible young musicians.
“It’s so important to get behind live concerts and support our homegrown Australian talent.
“They are the future of our music scene.”
Wave Raiders comprises of brothers Pete and Tom and their best mate Jayden.
Formed in 2022, the boys from Caloundra have rapidly ascended from bedroom jam sessions to national recognition.
They already made a significant impact with performances at renowned venues and festivals, including Venue 114 and Norton Music Factory.
Pete can’t believe ‘Sarah McLeod believes in us’
Vocalist and lead guitarist Pete is stoked to have the backing of one of his all-time idols.
“It’s surreal to have someone like Sarah McLeod believe in us,” Pete says.
“We’ve looked up to her for so long and now we get to share this important night with her. It’s a dream come true… to have someone of Sarah’s stature recognise means the world to us.”
“Fun” will be available on all major streaming platforms.
