WSTR are an English pop punk band based in Liverpool, England. Originally named "Waster", the group discovered a band with the same name from Canada. Because both bands were selling under the same name on iTunes, the Canadian band issued a cease and desist letter. The group ultimately decided to keep the most similar name as possible, removing the vowels, leaving simply "WSTR". Formed in 2015, the band signed with No Sleep Records and released their debut single, "Graveyard Shift", in March, of which the music video included cameos from members of Neck Deep. Following this, they played the Pinky Swear Records Fest in Manchester on May 2nd, headlined by Man Overboard, and Furyfest in Liverpool on May 3rd, also playing Empire Festival in Sheffield on May 17th. They played the Jump On Demand Records Festival, also in Liverpool, later that June, as well as the Hevy Fest in Port Lympne, Kent and the Make A Scene Festival in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire in August. Their debut EP, SKRWD, was released on September 4, 2015. The EP was produced and recorded by Seb Barlow, of Neck Deep, at Celestial Recordings. They then played the Hype Fest in Birmingham on November 28th. In December, WSTR was nominated for Best British Newcomer by Rock Sound, with Boston Manor winning the category.
