Bedwetters is a rock band from small town of Pärnu, Estonia that flew into a spotlight in autumn 2007 when they caused a fuss winning the MTV New Sound of Europe award in Munich beating bands like Klaxons and Sunrise Avenue on the way. Bedwetters was the first band from Estonia to win an MTV award, ever. But before the historic November 1st moment when Nelly Furtado & Snoop Dogg handed them the MTV award, guys had taken home the grand prix of the most prestigious contest for Estonian young groups and received a possibility to shoot a music video for their now infamous "Dramatic Letter To Conscience", a song that later would become Estonian Radio 2 "Hit Of The Year" and make them "newcomer of the year" as well. In spring 2008, Bedwetters was a support act for Good Charlotte & Avril Lavigne in Tallinn and spent the summer touring in the Baltics sharing the festival stages with the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Reamonn, Justice and many more. In summer 2008, Bedwetters was signed to a Swedish record label I Can Hear Music (TMC Entertainment) and the work on the debut album could begin. Petter Lantz (ex-Lambretta) was chosen to produce the material that the guys had written during spring & summer 2008. Band headed to the studio in december and recording was finished in the end of January 2009. Critically acclaimed "Meet the f****** Bedwetters" was released in Estonia and the world (iTunes) on the 20th of April 2009. Video for the first single "Long.Some.Distance" off the debut album was directed by Henrik Hanson, long-time editor of Swedish music video wizards Jonas Akerlund & Johan Renck (RAF). Video received the highest rotation on MTV Baltics (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) and MTV Fresh award. Video is also receiving airplays on MTV Sweden and Finland. During May, June and July 2009, Bedwetters was touring the Baltics, playing at festivals like Positivus, Be2gether and Fonofest alongside Moby, Pete Doherty, Sinead o..Connor, Polarkreis 18 and many more.
