Carissa's Wierd was an American indie rock band formed in Tucson, Arizona in 1995 by Mat Brooke and Jenn Champion, later moving to Seattle, Washington.

The band later added Ben Bridwell and Sera Cahoone, releasing three albums before disbanding in 2003. The band deliberately misspelled the word "Weird" in their name, and their sound has been described as "chamber rock."^[1]

After disbanding, Brooke and Bridwell formed Band of Horses, while Champion pursued a solo career as "S". The original lineup reunited in 2011 for a few concerts, while Brooke and Champion reunited again in 2019 to play the band's catalog.
