Let's Dance to Joy Division - The Wombats Single Review
The Wombats
Single Review
Having experienced a greater adrenalin rush and confidence boost than that you'd receive by winning the London Marathon dressed as Chicken Joe from Surfs Up, due to the fact that you are the first unsigned band to sell out the Carling Academy in your home city of Liverpool. Is something that the chirpy trio, The Wombats will never ever forget. It is of little surprise that the good folk of Liverpool took so readily, to a band that grazes in between the lush pop-fuelled musical pastures of Shack and the lyrical eccentricity and vocal playfulness of Half Man Half Biscuit.
It is probably the added combination of a lamenting Travis lag and some prosperous Polyphonic Spree backing that attaches to this strut through music's past that has widened their appeal, geographically speaking. Mathew Murphy's friendly and high profile leading pitch provides for a stirring narrative. Something that gives The Wombats another weapon to use in their fight against Lethal Bizzle, to win the main support slot before The Enemy on the forthcoming NME Rock N' Roll Riot tour.
