Wet Nuns are a two piece from Sheffield. At one point they were a three piece Crust punk band. They’re not anymore. They’re aanymore. They’re a two piece from Sheffield.

“We had a bit of interest from labels but we thought we’d just do it ourselves and keep all the money” said Wet Nuns ginger bearded drummer Leki. “We started our own label so might as well.”

“The song writing’s matured loads since” he says on Wet Nuns’ most recent output, a self-titled album, “although it all sounds the same to me.” According to Leki there’s a mixture. A country song, some doomy songs and some straight up blues. “The overall sound hasn’t changed, just some songs are really heavy”.

Wet Nuns caught a lot of people’s attention originally by adopting southern American accents between songs. “We stopped when it stopped being funny. Although it was funny for ages” he muses. “I guess it got kind of embarrassing”.

“We were supporting Book Club at Queens Social Club and we were chatting to these young lads and they said ‘I can’t believe you’ve come all the way from America to play in Sheffield’ and I just kept it up for ages doing the accent and every now again I’d do a Sheffield accent to take the piss out of them and they’d be like ‘you’re so good at that!’”.

Accents aside, Wet Nuns have recently returned from South By South West in Texas for no other reason apart from just wanting to go. Then they realised how much it would cost. “It cost us about ten grand and we’ve only just finished paying that back” he says.

“It’s weird from playing punk gigs where you can’t hear yourself. Like a practice room but full of drunken people” says Leki on playing festivals and bigger more ‘professional’ shows. “It’s a lot easier to play when you can hear stuff. It sounds obvious but it’s kind of a revelation to me”.

“I miss playing local punk gigs but usually when there’s a stage manager and stuff things run like clockwork. The thing I like about things that are done properly is that stuff doesn't normally run over because going on late kind of sucks and it’s just boring waiting around”.

Aside from playing in Wet Nuns, Leki and guitarist/vocalist Rob put on shows and festivals under the moniker Detestival. They also run the label Throng Of Nobs. “We wouldn't go with any other label unless they can give us something that we don’t already have, like a lot of money”.
