T H E  W O M B A T S

A good (but utterly useless) friend of mine told me that 'The Wombats are a Year 8 band' when declining the offer to come and see The Wombats tour this April...but after their recent release, Greek Tragedy, someone is definitely kicking themselves.

The Wombats are back and they're better than ever. 

Whilst still holding that typical synthy 'The Wombats' sound that does make you want to swig warm cider in a sunny field, they seem to have matured somewhat!

Their deep lyrics beautifully juxtapose with the upbeat nature that the band have captivatingly endorsed, evident in tracks such as; Techno Fan, Jump Into The Fog and Tokyo.


The Wombats are releasing their fourth album GLITTERBUG on APRIL FOURTH and their tour kicks off in Bristol this APRIL!

Recommendations

Recommendations?

Here, there is something for pretty much everyone, I give you four recommendations to help vary your music taste!

1. The Smiths - if you haven't heard of them then you're missing out on so much! The music that The Smiths create can easily be compared to the feeling of a hug...from a giant, friendly polar bear. The Smiths will show you that you don't have to be alone, they can pick you right up (Hand in Glove) or calm you right down (Asleep). Do yourself a favour and have a listen!

2. Liberty Ship - Liberty Ship are an indie band originating from the good old Steel City! The band consists of four school friends who are passionate about the music they're creating. With just one listen, you can they are tell are going to be big! Think the next Arctic Monkeys.

3. King Charles - what is not to love? With amazing lyrics and music that is refreshing and easy to along with, but nothing far from perfection, give King Charles a listen! I recommend them if you The Gorgeous Chans, Grouplove or Dog is Dead.

4. The Wombats - this funky pop trio are for those of you who like to dance around with the biggest of smiles of your faces'. If you can listen to The Wombats without at least tapping your foot- then you have amazing restraint! I'd trust you to work in a bubble wrap factory! Enjoy!
