Over the last decade, the arena of bold, stunning alternative rock music has been dominated by Wolf Alice. In that time, they have penned countless magnetic, fiery choruses that speak to the universal experience of being a young person, in particular a young woman, growing up in the 21st century- of joy, sadness, despair, and most importantly, hope.

All of this is brought to life in the sultry vocal talents of frontwoman Ellie Rowsell, whose huge rock voice brings with it both enough subtlety to linger on the delicate moments of fragility, and then explode with a fire that carries itself across to the crowd on the brisk night air. Accompanying her are, as ever, Wolf Alice’s signature cool, grazing harmonies; groove-infused basslines that pop and flow in the undertow; paired with drums that tick along like a metronome, all melding together into a slick stadium rock swagger.

This is a band totally at ease with their own musical prowess and ability to bend a crowd instantly to their will.
