About Wolf Alice

Emerging from the vibrant London music scene in 2010, Wolf Alice have rapidly ascended to become one of the UK’s most celebrated and influential alternative rock bands. Fronted by the captivating and enigmatic Ellie Rowsell, the quartet, completed by guitarist Joff Oddie, bassist Theo Ellis, and drummer Joel Amey, have consistently defied easy categorization. Their early EPs, including “Moon Worshipper” and “Brothers,” showcased a nascent talent for crafting ethereal melodies intertwined with a raw, untamed energy.

Their debut album, “My Love Is Cool” (2015), was a revelation, earning them critical acclaim and a Mercury Prize nomination. Tracks like the brooding and anthemic “Bros”, the fuzzy, explosive “Moaning Lisa Smile”, and the more delicate “Fluffy” demonstrated their impressive range and established their distinctive sonic identity. They followed this with the equally impressive “Visions of a Life” (2017), which garnered them a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Performance for the single “Yuk Foo” and a triumphant win at the Brit Awards for Album of the Year. This album delved deeper into their diverse influences, featuring the expansive “Space & Time” and the fierce, punk-infused “Don’t Delete the Kisses”.

Their most recent album, “Blue Weekend” (2021), cemented their status as a modern rock powerhouse. The record was met with universal critical adoration, earning them a second Mercury Prize nomination and solidifying their reputation for meticulous songwriting and breathtaking musicality. From the haunting beauty of “The Last Man on Earth” to the driving energy of “Smile”, “Blue Weekend” is a masterclass in sonic storytelling, showcasing their maturity and artistic evolution.
