Right, well admittedly I did discover this band through Paul Lester, who two blogposts ago I wished to challenge. Wolf Alice is also the first, in the conventional sense of the word, band that I've put up. Composed of three members, Wolf Alice possess a sound that intertwines old-school blues with what seems like an obvious for singer Ellie Rosswell, Daughter.The first song I heard by them was called "Leaving You", a touching song that begins in a similar vein to Daughter's 'Youth'. Typical blues chords, bliss harmonies and sorrowful lyrics but then it suddenly merges into a powerful blues ballad, which reminded me of early Kings Of Leon (when they weren't absolute douchebags).
"Wednesday" demonstrates their poppier side yet maintains the emotional impact of the music, where unlike most bands who wish to expand their sound in similar fashion, Wolf Alice have not sold out. The song sounds like the perfect soundtrack music for a Skins episode and even potentially a song that could feature on a Apple advert, which would surely assist in their flight to stardom.
What I like most about this band is the fact they have an earnest and honest sound. These are true emotions that they are trying to convey and the backing music accompanies it perfectly, a feature reminiscent of Bon Iver's style.
