Wolf Alice, Live

The hot and sweaty Boileroom in Guildford was filled to the brim with teens all excited out of their minds not just for Wolf Alice but also the excellent support act Superfood. A personal favourite mine, Superfood are bringing back Britpop in a big way. The entire venue were really digging the Birmingham band and so was frontman Dom. Highlights of their set was the unmitigated banger Bubbles and the insomniac anthem TV, both from their new EP Bubbles

Wolf Alice hesitantly climbed onto the cramped stage. With no grace or niceties Ellie jumped into new single Moaning Lisa Smile, easily the most violent and abrasive Wolf Alice tune to date. Throughout the wild night the band played almost every song under their hat with hardly any faltering moments. The band played excellently showing why we all love them so much. And with a seamless cover of Chris Isaak's Wicked Games after Blush stopped the hectic moshing for a heartbeat.

There is a reason why Wolf Alice are the trendiest band this year. Not only do they have the image (Joff and Theo look like the coolest extras from Trainspotting). They also have kickass songs and fans to boot. What Ellie lacks in actual stage presence she makes up in unassuming brilliance which shows itself live. Great night spent with a great crowd and even grabbed a couple awkward selfies with Wolf Alice. Great.

(3 days till new EP Creature Songs btw)
