Very annoying I can't add body text to a link post... but here it goes.
I heard Wolf Alice for the first time while watching SNL UK... and wow they blew me away. I'm a sucker for singing drummers (he reminds me of Grant Hart from Husker Du) and catchy hooks. Since watching this performance, I've since had their latest album The Clearing on repeat in my house.
From reading more about this band, it sounds like the album is divisive amongst fans due to being "soft". I think people need to realize (maybe this more applies to younger folks), bands with any longevity will change and experiment (Husker Du is another good example here)... they even can come back to their original sound. Embrace the change!

Check out "My love is cool". Its a different sound and I can see why people like it more (i personally do). I think theyre fantastic still. "Moaning Lisa Smile" and "Giant peach" are 2 of my favorite songs.

I couldn't get over how much the drummer reminded me of Jeremy Davies, but they were quite entertaining

Great post. Excellent album if you give it a chance. One of the best bands on the planet that I hope will continue to make music for a long time. Blue Weekend is a masterpiece.

Whoever is booking the bands for SNLUK should take over the US version.

I know it’s subjective but in my option they are 2/2.
