Wolf Alice:

Wolf Alice often fly under the radar of lovers of the alternative rock pantheon of greats, but see them live and you will soon realise what a terrible oversight that is! Undoubtedly, the most captivating part of their performance is the insane vocal talents of guitarist and vocalist Ellie Roswell, who can flit between fiery and intense lead lines, to dainty and beautifully ethereal at a moment’s notice. The energy rolls off her in waves, swirling around the rest of the band and seemingly pulling them physically towards each other, such is the incredibly tight nature of their performance.

What seems to have captured the hearts of especially the young women in the crowd, however, is the raw, unsullied nature of the band’s lyrics, in particular on tracks such as ‘Lipstick On the Glass’. Here is a band who do not need to hide behind bravado or their dress sense – they are being candid with each and every one of their listeners, speaking directly to them with each word. Make no mistake, however, Wolf Alice are still every inch the rock band, with enough tearing guitar parts and thunderous drums to get your Friday night alive and kicking! Who doesn’t love some darkly seductive rock and roll, eh?
