WTF is made up of the Twin Cities-based collective, Kremblems with Warren Thomas Fenzi (Acoustic/Electric Guitar, Vocals), Bailey Cogan (Keys, Synth, Vocals), Karl Remus (Bass, Electric Guitar, Vocals), Christian Wheeler (Drums and Percussion) and Daniel Chavez (Trumpet).
Having just released their self-titled debut album, the group has established themselves as a band to watch!
