The Well is an Austin, Texas–based alternative psych/metal trio formed in 2011 by

guitarist/vocalist Ian Graham, bassist/vocalist Lisa Alley, and drummer Jason Sullivan. What

began in a central Austin garage—stripped down to acoustic guitar, bass drum, and dual

vocals—quickly evolved into a powerful, genre-blurring sound rooted in ’70s proto-metal, ’60s

psychedelia, Southern sludge, and New Wave.

Renowned for their immersive live performances, The Well rapidly gained momentum in the

Austin scene, leading to the self-release of their debut seven-inch single, “7,” which earned

attention from underground metal outlets and a notable write-up in Metal Hammer. In 2014, the

band released their debut full-length, Samsara, after signing with Riding Easy Records, followed

by Pagan Science and Death and Consolation.

After years of extensive touring across the U.S. and abroad—including collaborations with

Norman Reedus and AMC for the series Ride, and sharing stages with artists ranging from

Electric Wizard and High on Fire to Ty Segall and Chelsea Wolfe—The Well enters a new

chapter in 2026 with Spaceflight Records.

Their forthcoming album, ...And Flames Ran Like Living Animals, is slated for release in fall

2026.
