Soft Bait (Tāmaki Makaurau, Auckland) are a 4-piece post-punk band known for their driving melodies and raw, unbridled energy. Their debut album, Plot Points, exploded onto the scene in October 2022, with singles, Big, True Stories and Plot Points, peaking at #1 on 95BFM. Their songs switch between moments of vulnerable honesty and sing along tongue and cheek. Finding balance between the two, mixing everyday life and how we deal with it through escapism.
