Where can I watch the Wasted Wizards WTF video?

Wasted Wizards – “WTF” (official music video), via the band’s official YouTube channel.

The official clip for “WTF” runs to just over three and a half minutes and is on the band’s own YouTube channel, so you can watch it above or head straight to the channel to subscribe. If the song grabs you, the full Wake Up Dead EP is waiting on Spotify and the other streaming services, and there are links further down this page.

What does the WTF video say about Wasted Wizards?

“WTF” is the sound of Wasted Wizards letting their hair down. Where the title track “Wake Up Dead” and “The Story Goes…” head into darker and more serious territory, “WTF” brings the focus back to the raw energy, swagger and larger-than-life attitude of the hard rock bands that helped shape the group’s musical identity. It shows the band’s more rebellious and unapologetic side, and the video is the natural way to introduce that side to a wider audience.

It also tells you something about how this young band wants to be heard. Plenty of newcomers pick one lane and stay in it. Wasted Wizards are happy to move between a sleaze-driven party track and something more introspective on the same record, and putting “WTF” in the middle of the running order, at track three between “My Oh My” and the title track, gives the EP a fun, cheeky centrepiece before the mood changes.

What is on the Wasted Wizards Wake Up Dead EP?

Wake Up Dead was released on 16 October 2026 and features five original tracks. According to the band, the EP brings together the larger-than-life spirit of 1980s arena rock, the raw edge of 1990s grunge and the emotional intensity of 2000s emo rock. It is an unusual mix for a hard rock debut, and it gives the five songs more variety than you might expect from a band at this stage of its career.

The full tracklist is:

  1. “Wannabe Rockstar”
  2. “My Oh My”
  3. “WTF”
  4. “Wake Up Dead”
  5. “The Story Goes…”

The sleaze-driven attitude runs through “Wannabe Rockstar”, “My Oh My” and “WTF”, while the title track and “The Story Goes…” show the more introspective side of the band. Together they introduce a group with a clear passion for hard rock and plenty of room to explore beyond its traditional boundaries.

Why does every Wake Up Dead song have its own video?

The “WTF” clip continues an ambitious visual idea that Wasted Wizards built around the EP: each of its five tracks receives its own official music video. Rather than treating the videos as an afterthought, the band has made them an integral part of the release, giving every song its own visual identity.

That is a big undertaking for a debut EP, and it means Wake Up Dead works as more than a set of songs to stream. It plays out as a mini audiovisual project, and “WTF” is this week’s addition. If you have not yet seen the others, the band’s YouTube channel is the place to start.

Who are Wasted Wizards?

Wasted Wizards are a Swedish hard rock quartet made up of Leo Mårtensson on vocals, Sam Mårtensson on guitars, Alvin Hilmersson on bass and John Danielsson on drums. Their debut EP draws on the loud, melodic rock of the 1980s, the grit of the 1990s and the heart-on-sleeve emotion of the 2000s, and all three are in the mix.

Regular readers will have seen them here before. The band kicked off the day at Mayhem Festival Nottingham 2026 back in May, and the first single from this EP was the swaggering “Wannabe Rockstar”, which opens the record. Before that, their earlier single “To the City” arrived with a video of its own in late 2025. Seen together, the releases show a young band that keeps moving forward, and “WTF” is another step on that path.

How can I listen to or buy the Wake Up Dead EP?

The EP is available to stream on Spotify and the other major services. You can listen on Spotify, or use the band’s streaming link to pick your preferred service. If you like to hold your music in your hands, the CD EP is available from the band’s official merchandise store through the box near the top of this article, where you will also find official T-shirts.
