1. Wordy Sweater was formed in 2015 in the heart of London by a trio of university friends; lead singer and guitarist Lucas Harding, bassist Josh Sullivan, and drummer James Turner.

Despite their success, the trio has remained down-to-earth, often penning their songs in cozy coffee shops and taking inspiration from their fans and everyday life. Their name, Wordy Sweater, reflects their love for profound lyrics and comfortable, warm music.
