Alex Turner of
Arctic Monkeys, that is the best way to describe
The Wombats. Another way to describe this Liverpool trio is the most fun you will have listening to any album this year. The Wombats are a young band that met at the Liverpool Institute for Preforming Arts and are living their rock and roll fantasies. A band that has gained much attention in Europe for their lively stage performances but have finally released their debut here in the U.S. The album
A Lesson in Love, Loss and Depression is a love angst driven record about girls, getting drunk and above all else looking for a good time in bad situations. Their single "Let's Dance to Joy Division," gained much attention in May as a free Itunes single of the week. The catchy song would only be a precursor as to what would come for their full length record. This record is a must own and I guarantee The Wombats will be your new favorite band---just remember you herd and read it hear first!
