Wednesday have announced and shared a trailer for Rat Bastards of Haw Creek, an upcoming documentary directed by Zach Romeo showcasing their quiet, rural lives in the mountains of Western North Carolina and how that existence stands in contrast with the raucous, kinetic energy of their captivating live shows and the rapid pace of their newfound success.

Wednesday’s breakthrough album Rat Saw God was released earlier this year to unanimous critical praise. Across the album’s ten tracks the band builds a shrine to minutiae. Half-funny, half-tragic dispatches from North Carolina unfurling somewhere between the wailing skuzz of Nineties shoegaze and classic country twang, with distorted pedal steel and Karly Hartzman’s voice and observational lyrics slicing through the din.

The band is also expanding their tour and announcing 2024 US dates, adding to their fall EU dates and Karly Hartzman/MJ Lenderman dual solo tour.
