Formed in 2018 and rebranded in 2025 as Guild (FKA The Wedges), this Western Australian five-piece fuses neo-psychedelia, desert rock, metal and sludge into a commanding and immersive sound. Fronted by Molly Corderoy, whose vocal versatility ranges from ethereal melodies to raw, guttural intensity, Guild delivers a dynamic live experience that blends shifting atmospheres with powerful instrumentation.
Rounding out the lineup are Michael DeKlerk (bass), Sam Pursglove (guitar), Zane Chase (drums) and Dan Ross (synthesizer/guitar), whose collective approach creates textured, evolving compositions.
The band also curates their own independent festival, Wedgefest, with the 2024 edition drawing over 250 attendees to the main room of Perth’s Rosemount Hotel, reflecting their strong DIY ethos and growing community support.
Guild’s debut album, ‘REIGN’, is set for release in September 2025, marking a major milestone in the band’s evolution. The record encapsulates their sonic range, from brooding psychedelia to explosive heaviness.
Notable live performances include:
- Supporting The Screaming Jets – November 2024
- Electric Eye Heavy Fest 2024 alongside Psycroptic, Pathogen, and Suldusk
- Spliffs n Riffs Festival (2022, 2023, 2024), supporting various artists including Minami Deutsch (Japan)
- Pox-Eclipse Festival Southern Cross WA Goldfields (2022, 2023)
With a bold new identity, a growing reputation for immersive live shows and their debut album on the horizon, Guild is forging a distinctive path through Australia’s heavy and psychedelic music scenes.
