The Wharves has been played on NTS in shows including Hot Mess, featured first on 5 January 2015. Songs played include Renew and The Grip.

The Wharves sport some startling duel vocals, courtesy of Gemma Fleet (bass) and Dearbhla Minogue (guitar), which hang gracefully over a minimal rock format. The Wharves invoke the reverberated spook of 60's girl groups, The Roches, the mid-fi guitar crunch of Kim Deal's The Amps, and the narrative and structural panache of Steeleye Span's progressive folk. Marion Andrau's thunderous drumming drives through these compositions, ensuring the wealth of disparate influences remain focused and celebratory.
