Wolf Alice have a cool alternative guitar rock vibe of the late 90's

I was just talking about Throwback Thursday and then I realized there's been nothing written about Wolf Alice on this blog.   With the release of their new EP Creature Songs, I've become even more interested to hear a full length album from the band.  Just think of them as a band very similar to Veruca Salt from the late 90's.  The same sort of guitar rock with a female lead but of course a bit more 2014.

"Moaning Lisa Smile" is Wolf Alice's first release from the Creature Songs EP.  A nice quick and catchy guitar rock sound.  Their music is pure guitar alternative rock.  I enjoy that about the band. Sometimes a little less gimmick and a bit more to the point music is greatly appreciated by my ears.


I also recommend checking out the band's earlier EP Blush.  Their song "She" really caught my ear.  I listened to that song a good dozen times the first few days I picked that up.  The drums and the fuzzy guitar hooked me from the first 10 seconds.  I think this band has a lot of potential for a fun full length album.


And because I brought up Veruca Salt, I might as well post a song of theirs.  The era when MTV Total Request Live existed.  Actually, the era when MTV played music videos and was Music Television.  Yeah, kids, MTV actually played a ton of music videos back then.  The memorable bungee cord video.  Must've been fun playing their guitars when they were flying up in the air.
