WPA quickly got a reputation as a hot new band through its constant playing in early days. Billy Pinnell described their first album as the best Australian rock debut since Skyhooks' "Living in the 70s". They quickly formed a loyal supporter base; fans became known as "Wedheads".
Renown for their energetic live shows, especially legendary Xmas shows which grew from one night on Xmas eve to a full week of live shows at the Central Club Hotel in Richmond leading up to Xmas eve in 1998.

Recently reformed for the Community Cup Challenge footy match in July 2005 .
