Warpaint
Band Los Angeles United States Formed 2004 American indie rock band
Warpaint formed in 2004 in Los Angeles, United States. Warpaint has 17 chart appearances on 16 radio countdowns from 13 stations on RockLists, spanning 2010–2026. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “New Song”, which appears on 10 lists with a best position of #16. The station that charted Warpaint most often is The Colorado Sound (Fort Collins–Denver, CO), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2016.
Warpaint formed in Los Angeles in 2004, and it took them a while to find their final shape. Shannyn Sossamon was in the early lineup until 2008, and once drummer Stella Mozgawa joined in 2009 they settled into the four-piece that's still going: Emily Kokal and Theresa Wayman on vocals and guitars, Jenny Lee Lindberg on bass and vocals, and Mozgawa driving it all.
Their sound is hypnotic and hazy, art rock built on interlocking guitars, loping basslines and hushed, overlapping vocals that drift in and out like smoke. The Fool, their 2010 debut, set the template, with "Undertow" as its slow-motion centerpiece. A self-titled second album followed in 2014, then Heads Up in 2016, whose "New Song" leaned into a sharper groove.
Radiate Like This arrived in 2022, and in 2024 they came back with "Common Blue", which put them higher on the countdowns than ever before.
