+Dewayne C How did this little thread turn sort of anti-Muslim and borderline racist?? Jeez man, music is all about getting PAST all of that shit. (not to mention the drummer looks like he could possibly be from that segment of society. when is this shit EVER gonna end man??) whatever "captain".
***** Hey man, i get what it is doing there, for sure. BUT, eventually, we as a species are gonna have to get past this. If we don't? The end result will be chaos and death.
***** The question is, how do we help each other instead of hate each other? One thing i think is, maybe we should start thinking of all of us as the same ... "group." (since we are)
***** Well, you have hit on something. I myself believe in something, but, i am starting to think that religion is a big part of the problem here. Why do they do that? I don't know man. I was not raised that way. Ask one of them. I know this though, hatred for other people because they live differently is not a good thing. Look, i am no huge fan or defender of Islam at all. I just know that we need to figure out a way to get past this, and pretty quick, or shit is gonna turn for the worst real soon. If you think hatred of those people is the best way, i feel bad for you bud. (i say that knowing full well that many of them hate me too)
***** I am no fan at all of how some Muslims treat women. I want the fanatics dealt with. Just please do not lump them all in with those types. Perhaps it is different here in America than there. I think it probably is. Religious fanaticism has to be done away with. All the way around.
More people in England I think, also richer country so more people can afford to go into music/learn an instrument and more people can buy new bands music. So yah im sure Uruguay might have some decent bands if it had the chance.
dense population, diverse culture, and higher living standards (people can spend time on thing other than direct survival, such as art and music) is a pretty good environment for some dope bands to spring up from
i was going to go to a show on that tour and leave after WA. i saw them in a small club in april headlining and they were saf for sure. one of my very favorite bands.
I got change in a pocket somewhere Got my letter in the box Tired of waiting for the bus to nowhere And tired of chasing the stone fox I don’t tell lies no more, you know I just don’t tell the truth I don’t know what I’m looking for, ya know But I’m not looking for proof I have a tricky love affair, you know With the place where I grew up But it knows I’ll never leave, ya know I never left it much I hate to see it despair, oh, don’t you do it I hate to see it screw up But it knows I can hardly grieve When it’s hard to give a, hard to give a... wow! What keeps me here? It’s not the boy giving the funny feels Don’t know what keeps me here It’s not the P to pay for the wheel What the hell keeps me here? In this dark old town that I adore The rules don’t seem so clear And change, it feels like fear, it's all you know Our dark and pretty town Our dark and pretty town Our dark and handsome town Our dark and pretty town My dark and pretty town
I love the visual jokes in this video - the crap band manager whooping it up at a lousy cheapo gig, trying to be down with the band, interfering with how they look and play - excellent. And yes, it's Brian from My Parents Are Aliens for those who live in a TV world... Also Ellie as Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull... superb video, fantastic song, love Wolf Alice - and I am in my sixties!
I’ve been streaming this album constantly on Apple this week. Great album! So much music. So sophisticated. Not a lazy, loop production. Great rythm section. Great vocals.
One of the best/ subtly funniest music videos you’ll see. Joel (drummer) twirling his drumsticks and dropping them. Theo (bassist) diving into the empty crowd for a bit of crowd surfing. Joff (guitarist) throwing away that shot of alcohol after their manager takes his shot 😂😂😂. Love it.
ME TOO, I have been waiting 3 years it seems, I just grabbed tickets to see them this am. I am going to be angry if Giant Peach has her voice synth like in this video though, the producer should be sent to twee hell for destroying her awesome voice.
Tomas Pelaez she doesn't auto tune, that's for crappy wannabe singers.this was the producer adding effects. There show was awesome she and the band are amazing.
This song got me hooked to them, I think it was after reading about them on the Q magazine, and have been following their releases ever since. But, I had to finally say it, I come to watch this video couple of times, thrice a year, and on top of the great song, the video is awesome: all extremely funny, lot of relatable things if you ever played in a band, but the guy here playing the manager was OUTSTANDING! My standing ovation to him! It would have not been that hilarious without him nailing the right attitude for what the video required. Spot on!
I was laughing my ass off throughout this entire music video. There are tears in my eyes right now because of it. Thank you, Wolf Alice, for making one hell of a music video.
I love Ellie. Wow, and Joff, Joel, and Theo. All together, they're mind-blowing. I'm so addicted to this band. Really, though, Ellie might be the most adorable person I've ever seen! Plus, she has a great effing voice.
Saw them live back in 2016 in Las Vegas when they opened for CHVRCHES. Amazing show- they absolutely lit up the crowd and yet they were so new here in the US with such a small following. Sometimes you can just tell when a band is going places
Josh River Ellie Rowsell actually only started guitar lessons a few months ago. Until then she was teaching herself. I know her friends... my point is it's never too late to pick up an instrument.
Leah Kelly That is very true and I appreciate the encouragement. But unfortunately I also possess the traits of impatience and procrastination....but it is on my bucket list.
Probably the greatest newish band that actually DELIVERS !! ,,, over n over !! Wolf ALICE ,,,,, even the name suggests imagination of what’s just around the corner ,,,,, Gx
Just got back from the show, The band came out to watch the opening act with the crowd so I had to take the opportunity to get a pic with Ellie, she was most gracious. Hope she knows she is the only person I have ever gotten a pick with talent wise. And I've had Robert Plant, Clint Eastwood, Radiohead and tons of other talent in my restaurants over the years, none of which I took photos with as it never meant anything. Thanks for an epic show Wolf Alice, you guys will be huge and I will remember the great little venue I saw you at:)

That's probably one of the most epic outro riffs I've ever heard.
oh my god have been searching for a band like this since ages
same
Try blood red shoes, they have some sweet telecaster riffs too :D
Try sonic youth also. Very similar
This is one of those albums you can listen to start from finish, and there isn't a single dud track. Sounds like Sonic Youth but more modern
Yup good comparison. I also feel like theirs a touch of say Metro in their work in general ... kind of 80's new wave part 2 - evolved. LOVE IT!
that's EXACTLY what I thought!! they sound like sonic youth!! I AM IN LOVE!!!!!
And Vision of a life is the same! This band don't have any bad songs! I love ALL of them!
You forgot about "Soapy water" :-D (PS: I totally love this band)
I remember when this record came out and it’s all I listened to all year. They make me so happy.
My favourite part is when Ellie screams 'MY DARK AND PRETTY TOWN!' at the end
seeing it live is insane, and she usually gets in the crowd for the build up
THAT INTRO! It's official, WolfAliceVEVO and "Giant Peach" are our Vevo UK Track Of The Week!
Damn these guys are actually really kick ass! Like punk with something extra.
That would be grunge 😊 this is grunge. Punk with something extra
Andrew Brann I guess you can say post-grunge yeah
+ViperStarFilms or just Grunge....
Nosaj Okay, grunge works as well.
+ViperStarFilms or post-grunge, I guess you could say
OMG like I'm really almost in tears listing to this band! such an old school 90's rock 80's new wave sound, hope restored for the future of music
Wolf Alice Rocks✊!!!
Ellie Rowsell is absolutely beautiful..........and talented!
lolno if you've seen them live, they're all talented.
and beautifully unconventional
If New York is the big apple, then London is the Giant peach?
+Dewayne C How did this little thread turn sort of anti-Muslim and borderline racist?? Jeez man, music is all about getting PAST all of that shit. (not to mention the drummer looks like he could possibly be from that segment of society. when is this shit EVER gonna end man??)

Perhaps it is different here in America than there. I think it probably is. Religious fanaticism has to be done away with. All the way around.
How come English people have so many good bands. The country is like, the size of fucking Uruguay.
More people in England I think, also richer country so more people can afford to go into music/learn an instrument and more people can buy new bands music. So yah im sure Uruguay might have some decent bands if it had the chance.
dense population, diverse culture, and higher living standards (people can spend time on thing other than direct survival, such as art and music) is a pretty good environment for some dope bands to spring up from
Cos we rock!!!!!!
lol there´s some great bands in Uruguay
Because Britain is rife with troubled youth (for a good reason) which is where all this fantastic music comes from.
Saw them live with the 1975 (never heard of them until the concert) and they were sick af!
i was going to go to a show on that tour and leave after WA. i saw them in a small club in april headlining and they were saf for sure. one of my very favorite bands.
SOO LUCKY
I got change in a pocket somewhere
Got my letter in the box
Tired of waiting for the bus to nowhere
And tired of chasing the stone fox
I don’t tell lies no more, you know
I just don’t tell the truth
I don’t know what I’m looking for, ya know
But I’m not looking for proof
I have a tricky love affair, you know
With the place where I grew up
But it knows I’ll never leave, ya know
I never left it much
I hate to see it despair, oh, don’t you do it
I hate to see it screw up
But it knows I can hardly grieve
When it’s hard to give a, hard to give a... wow!
What keeps me here?
It’s not the boy giving the funny feels
Don’t know what keeps me here
It’s not the P to pay for the wheel
What the hell keeps me here?
In this dark old town that I adore
The rules don’t seem so clear
And change, it feels like fear, it's all you know
Our dark and pretty town
Our dark and pretty town
Our dark and handsome town
Our dark and pretty town
My dark and pretty town
Wolf Alice is like a throwback to Veruca Salt - 90s alt rock, meets 2010s punk. This is awesome.
I love the visual jokes in this video - the crap band manager whooping it up at a lousy cheapo gig, trying to be down with the band, interfering with how they look and play - excellent. And yes, it's Brian from My Parents Are Aliens for those who live in a TV world... Also Ellie as Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull... superb video, fantastic song, love Wolf Alice - and I am in my sixties!
Wow never realized she was channeling Ian here, my dad's going to love this
I love this band - glam-grunge-metal-punk-with-a-hint-of-britpop.
I feel like this song is super psychedelic-rock
I’ve been streaming this album constantly on Apple this week. Great album! So much music. So sophisticated. Not a lazy, loop production. Great rythm section. Great vocals.
Is that the dad from My Parents are Aliens?!
themushroombeast Oh my god it is
Finlay McCarthy themushroombeast It's been so long, but it is, what a spot!
Omfg ur a genius
yes OMG you have a sharp eye !!
I don't know whether that impressive knowledge or just weird...!!!!
One of the best/ subtly funniest music videos you’ll see.
Joel (drummer) twirling his drumsticks and dropping them.
Theo (bassist) diving into the empty crowd for a bit of crowd surfing.
Joff (guitarist) throwing away that shot of alcohol after their manager takes his shot 😂😂😂.
Love it.
I am so in love with Wolf Alice
Dutch I didn't think you would be here lol
Sounds like a Plan Dutch
my thoughts exactly
We just need one more score
Same
I feel some Sonic Youth, Nirvana and early 90's band here. They bring me back the memories.
Eldias Mahdi Sastra agreed
L7 also maybe
Such a great song. Wierdly, my guitar teacher has a friend who toured with Wolf Alice several times.
They're so goofy, I love it. They love their own music and that allows them to put so much passion and feeling into it.
デビューアルバムをリリースしたばかりですが、大注目の新人UKバンド！ギターロック全開で、サマソニで観られるのが楽しみです！
The Variety!!! OMG my new fav artist holy moly...
Love this band so much. Put on a great live show as well. Can't wait for the debut to drop.
ME TOO, I have been waiting 3 years it seems, I just grabbed tickets to see them this am. I am going to be angry if Giant Peach has her voice synth like in this video though, the producer should be sent to twee hell for destroying her awesome voice.
***** Is really rare that in a live show they tweak the voice, like autotune.
Tomas Pelaez
Tomas Pelaez she doesn't auto tune, that's for crappy wannabe singers.this was the producer adding effects. There show was awesome she and the band are amazing.
This is soooo much better live! Love it
Absolutely love this song!
Me too. First time I've seen the video.
***** cxwjnc. U hnnbi hhn jkhf ghost hvf g mm b e g Chan kve hub dfqad
So much talent in this band
I can remember being at their NYC show back in 2015 and was blown away by the whole show!
her voice and the last riff = the best thing ever
This song got me hooked to them, I think it was after reading about them on the Q magazine, and have been following their releases ever since. But, I had to finally say it, I come to watch this video couple of times, thrice a year, and on top of the great song, the video is awesome: all extremely funny, lot of relatable things if you ever played in a band, but the guy here playing the manager was OUTSTANDING! My standing ovation to him! It would have not been that hilarious without him nailing the right attitude for what the video required. Spot on!
More bands like this please.
This band is awesome, I’m 51 and I absolutely love em! 🎸 🎶
I was laughing my ass off throughout this entire music video. There are tears in my eyes right now because of it. Thank you, Wolf Alice, for making one hell of a music video.
Also, this is the first video I've seen from this band, guess you could say that it was still very... interesting... to say the least.
I love Ellie. Wow, and Joff, Joel, and Theo. All together, they're mind-blowing. I'm so addicted to this band.
Really, though, Ellie might be the most adorable person I've ever seen! Plus, she has a great effing voice.
so glad i watched y’all live back in november, even my dad, a huge listener of rock, said you were amazing live. i couldn’t stop crying pmsl
Holy shit, the manager is the dad from My Parents Are Aliens
Ben Cowper THATS why I recognised him!
Oh my god you're right
This is an absolute classic.
I'm here from 5 years ago. This still kicks ass
First saw this on MTV rocks back in the day, was hooked ever since
This Song/ This feckin Band are so awesome, Thank you for the Music :)
I love Wolf Alice !!!! Gives a fresh kick in the ass to the music scene !!!
oregon you broke my fucking nose
+whateverlikehell Love Fresh Meat
came to say something about shales, didnt expect this, laughing so hard now lol
Amazing just amazing
Saw them live back in 2016 in Las Vegas when they opened for CHVRCHES. Amazing show- they absolutely lit up the crowd and yet they were so new here in the US with such a small following. Sometimes you can just tell when a band is going places
Saw them in Belfast on their first tour, have to say they were fucking rad, will definitely see them again
Best part of the song is 2:30-3:00. Love the music there, listen to it with headphones cranked up. Look forward to seeing where these guys go.
This song makes me wish I had taken air guitar lessons.
Josh River Ellie Rowsell actually only started guitar lessons a few months ago. Until then she was teaching herself. I know her friends... my point is it's never too late to pick up an instrument.
Leah Kelly That is very true and I appreciate the encouragement. But unfortunately I also possess the traits of impatience and procrastination....but it is on my bucket list.
My friend was telling me about this band, and they are amazing. THANK YOU HANNAH FOR SHOWING ME THIS BAND 👍🏼
Diosss que buena banda, hace unos días los descubrí y no paro de escucharlos. Esta canción buenisima, los cambios, la voz, el concepto, TODO!!!
Fucking love this song! Great show in Detroit! Thanks again Wolf Alice! 🥰❤️
I'm so glad I saw them perform yesterday, what an amazing band :)
Can't get enough of this song. Perfection.

R @ D Department qq
Yes, female vocal is interesting
Garden Remedy I guess I didn't hear them....vocals
This video is priceless!! :) And definitely one of my favorite recent albums!!!!!
Why can't I have a manager like this he's so underappreciated his kind of dedication could make us all stars
just discovered this band....and it's a mighty fine discovery!
this song live was so amazing
I fell in love with this band after seeing them in my hometown..
Bad ass. Also one of the most interesting music videos I've ever seen.
I love this band
This band's sound is unreal.
Probably the greatest newish band that actually DELIVERS !! ,,, over n over !! Wolf ALICE ,,,,, even the name suggests imagination of what’s just around the corner ,,,,, Gx
bOPPIN MY HEAD TO THIS LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW THIS REPLENISHES MY SOUL
I love the subtle noises she makes into the mic sometimes. Like what she did in the intro.
Wolf Alice are everything
Love this song
Another beautiful suprise!
I love wolf Alice! I get wasted to this song🍻🤘🏼😍
How can they possibly sound like so many bands at once
I have been playing Wolf Alice pretty much non-stop for the past couple days since I found them.
You're awesome guys :) Looking forward to seeing you in Prague
She's gorgeous!
I think there's a bit of a sonic youth influence

Lyrics
I got change in a pocket somewhere
Got my letter in the box
Tired of waiting for the bus to nowhere
And tired of chasing the stone fox
I don't tell lies no more, you know
I just don't tell the truth
I don't know what I'm looking for, ya know
But I'm not looking for proof
I have a tricky love affair, you know
With the place where I grew up
But it knows I'll never leave, ya know
I never left it much
I hate to see it despair, oh, don't you do it
I hate to see it screw up
But it knows I can hardly grieve
When it's hard to give a, hard to give a... wow!
What keeps me here?
It's not the boy giving the funny feels
Don't know what keeps me here
It's not the P to pay for the wheel
What the hell keeps me here?
In this dark old town that I adore
The rules don't seem so clear
And change, it feels like fear, it's all you know
Our dark and pretty town
Our dark and pretty town
Our dark and handsome town
Our dark and pretty town
My dark and pretty town
Loving it! Yeah baby yeah! Rockin'
Falling in love with this band all over again. Where is your debut LP!!!!
I can't express how much I fucking love them
I just saw them at Austin360 last night. They rocked!
I was at that concert! Way too short. I left after 4 QOSTA songs.
This song is my current obsession.
Probably one of my faves they did!
Joel Amey seems to be a drummer of tremendous talent and he may well go far! I certainly wish him the best and more...
So beautiful frontMAN! =)
opened you just in 2020!
Such a great song. I can relate to it a lot at this point in my life.
Great band and this song absolutely shreds!
i'm in love with her voice
This is so good
How come this band doesnt have a single song that I doesnt like ? How come ? Because they`re Fantastic !
