If Only All The Boys Danced To Joy Division
A giddy slice of indie pop that really epitomises the opposite of Joy Division's gloomy depths, The Wombats latest gleeful number is three minutes chock full of shimmying fun. "We're so happy", chants singer Matthew Murphy above a children's choir in this superb snippet of Liverpudlian indie disco that will lift your heart with its frantic melody and chirpy tone.
The Wombats' ability to make gritty, guitar-led tunes is further showcased in the jerky and engaging guitarwork of bside, 'Derail and Crash' which overflows with pop-rock passion. If you're looking for a band to brighten up your night, then you may have found them. Should you be going to the 'NME Rock n'Roll Riot Tour' make sure you get there in plenty of time to catch The Wombats who are certain to warm the crowd up to a blistering heat where they'll be hugging random strangers from pure joy!
