News | Wild Beasts announce one-off Smother show

Wild Beasts have announced a special one-off London gig in which they will play their critically acclaimed third album Smother in full.

Album: Wild Beasts – Smother

Album: Wild Beasts – Smother

Wild Beasts, possibly the most exciting band to emerge from the British music scene over the last decade, have been criticised for being preposterous and overblown, and for taking themselves too seriously. As they open up their coruscating third album with the lyrics “I find you hidden there a veiled creature of the deep,...

Festival: Bestival 2010

Festival: Bestival 2010

As an Isle of Wight native, I’ve seen Bestival grow from a small, sparky young thing in 2004 to the vast, fiery dragon it is today. I worried that my favourite festival was about to grow so big that it would collapse in on itself, like a soufflé. Thankfully, a new site layout meant...

Single: Wild Beasts – We Still Got The Taste Dancin’ On Our Tongues

Kendal quartet Wild Beasts’ third single from their much-lauded second album, Two Dancers, ‘We Still Got The Taste…’ is a giddy tale of youthful debauchery and lustful adventures, characteristically told by frontman Hayden Thorpe’s unique countertenor vocals and accompanied by a pleasantly toe-tapping upbeat rhythm.
