Light Outside

Wakey!Wakey!

unsigned/The Family, US

WE SAY

Wakey!Wakey! is a New York-based act led by singer- songwriter and 'One Tree Hill' actor Michael Grubbs. Their first proper studio album, called Almost Everything I Wish I‘d Said the Last Time I Saw You (listen on Spotify), is packed with strong, inventive piano-led pop-rock numbers with this track one of the best among them. Released in the US by independent label The Family Records, we believe a UK/European deal is close - it would be a wise signing with songs like this lending themselves so well to sync action and radio play. Tipped by: Ian Usher
