Forth Wanderers

Making introspective indie rock with a Midwestern emo flavor, Forth Wanderers mix immaculate melodies with a muscular and angsty musical sensibility. The band released their first album, Tough Love, in 2014, but it was their 2018 eponymous debut for Sub Pop that marked their fully formed arrival. After a hiatus prompted by their singer's struggles with a panic disorder, Forth Wanderers were back at it in 2025, when they returned to Sub Pop with the more risk-taking The Longer This Goes On.
