LIVE REVIEW – WOLF ALICE: MANCHESTER ARENA – 28/11/2025

As Ellie Rowsell takes centre stage, megaphone in hand, my view is once again blocked by a man scurrying to the bar – a confused mind who thinks beer is more important than listening to one of the most alluring front-women of the 21st Century. I’m not ashamed to admit that hearing “Yuk Foo” live […]

WOLF ALICE ARE HOWLING ABOUT THEIR NEW MUSIC & AUTUMN TOUR

LIVE: WOLF ALICE / SWIM DEEP – 10/03/2016

– ACADEMY 1, MANCHESTER – Walking into the Manchester Academy I’m pleasantly surprised with how small and intimate the venue is; it’s large enough to feel like a big crowd is present (which there most definitely is) and yet small enough to feel like it’s a private party. Sneaking a quick look at the band […]
ALBUMS Kendrick Lamar – To Pimp a Butterfly The album that the modern world has been waiting for. The major records to have captured the public consciousness in recent years have been either self-important ego riots (hello Kanye) or tepid retro-pop (Adele, Taylor Swift). Kendrick is interested in being heard by as many as possible, […]

2015 END OF YEAR – MAX PILLEY

It’s far from the easiest listen, but the rewards are there for the giving TPAB the attention it thoroughly […]
Ahead of their gig at The Ritz in Manchester, and after a brief tour of the backstage area looking for a place quiet enough to do an interview, Silent Radio’s Adam Smith spoke to Wolf Alice bassist Theo Ellis and Drummer Joel Amey in the dressing room being shared by support bands Crows and The […]

– THE RITZ, MANCHESTER – Hype Machine named them the UK’s most blogged about artist of 2013 and then in 2014 they were named Breakthrough Act Of The Year at the UK festival awards.

– CLUB ACADEMY, MANCHESTER – Manchester is often a tough crowd for bands. The city’s arguably unparalleled musical heritage means us Mancunian folk expect a lot when we venture out on a wet Wednesday evening. But Wolf Alice have no problems with that. The London four-piece are welcomed to Club Academy like returning heroes, with an […]

LIVE: WOLF ALICE – 21/02/2013

– TROF FALLOWFIELD, MANCHESTER – It’s my first time at Trof in Fallowfield and I’m not quite sure what to expect. Here to catch North London’s garage pop-four piece Wolf Alice on tour in our fair city, I stumble up the awkwardly narrow staircase into a room full of well-dressed music enthusiasts decked in their […]
