Prior to the formation of the band, lead vocalist Lydia Night met guitarist Genessa Gariano, bassist Sage Chavis, and drummer Maxx Morando in music school.[2][3] At the time, Gariano, Chavis and Morando were in a band together,[7] called "Genessa"[8] and Night was in the two-piece band Pretty Little Demons (who changed their name to The Regrettes in the last few months of life) with drummer Marlhy Murphy. Both of the bands played a concert together, but soon after[9] Murphy departed from the band after the release of their EP "Hey!" on October 16, 2015,[10] leading to Night asking Gariano, Chavis, and Morando to join. The "Hey!" EP was eventually discovered by a representative at Warner Brothers, which would eventually led to them signing the band.[11] In 2016, the band toured with both Tacocat and Sleigh Bells, opened for Kate Nash, and performed at South by Southwest.[2][12][13]

In 2015, the band's independent release led to a record deal with Warner Bros. Records.[14] Their first album was produced by Mike Elizondo and their first single, "A Living Human Girl", was released in June 2016.[15] Other singles followed including "Hey Now", "Hot", and "Seashore."[16][17] On January 13, 2017, the band released its debut studio album, Feel Your Feelings Fool!.[1] In May 2017, the band announced a summer headlining tour which includes stops at Summerfest and Riot Fest.[6] On February 9, 2018, the band released the single "Come Through," from their EP Attention Seeker, released on February 23, 2018.[18] It was accompanied by a music video. On May 9, 2018, the band announced Morando's departure.[19] On May 22, 2018, the tour bus containing all their belongings was stolen from outside the Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham, UK where they later played a sold-out gig. [20] On May 31, 2018, the band contributed the sixth Hamildrop, a cover of the song "Helpless". Lin-Manuel Miranda credited producer Mike Elizondo as having suggested the idea.[21] On September 3, 2018, the band announced Sage Chavis' departure,[22] being replaced by Violet Mayugba.[19]

Musical style

The Regrettes' musical style has been labeled as punk rock,[27][14] riot grrrl,[28][29] garage pop,[12][13] and garage punk,[30][31] featuring elements of garage rock, '60s doo-wop and surf music,[29] rockabilly,[32] and pop music.[30] Michael Bialas, a writer at PopMatters described their sound as "girl-group power-pop punk"[23] In an article by Culture Collide, their style was described as "Channeling classic doo-wop through a catchy garage-punk filter" and as bringing "a level of impassioned aggression to tried-and-true pop structures, creating a compelling product with significant crossover appeal."[31]

Lyrically, their music has been described as following themes such as women's empowerment,[23] feminism,[31] politics,[33] and love.[34] In an article by The Verge, their lyrics were described as "brash and unapologetic".[35]
