Listen, I've listened to nearly every B-side, every live track avaliable online and every other song they've done from 15 plays for some songs upto about 400 maybe more for others and I can say that I only ever found one track I didn't like. That track was Wednesday (sorry if that's anyone's favourite) and it's an old B-side I think from years ago that is very unknown. Out of 2 albums though, multiple singles and EPs and live tracks one song being not to my taste (wouldn't say it was a bad song) is bloody impressive.

[@ryf772]

@@blurdynamic9118 It's incredible how they're able to make good songs from all kind of genres, be it grunge, shoegaze, all the way to folk. Incredible.

@@w.neuman Well we have a difference of opinion ! the appreciation of all art is subjective of course. As a matter of fact my current top three acts are LP, Low and the National . Wolf Alice a little further down but I really like this track. The second best I have heard this year after "Loneliness " by Birdy . Funnily enough another track sung /played at the piano !

[@fireworkart7712]

What a performance. No gimmicks, no voice processing. Pure talent. A brilliant song performed by the best British band of our time. Just wow.

I'm 59 so it takes something special to make me sit up and take notice. This band are special. If they don't go into orbit there's no justice in this world !!

[@Jamhatproductions]

Wolf Alice was the band that truly opened my eyes to music in so many ways, Ellie's vocals helped me through a really tough depression that culminated in me seeing them live for the first time a few years ago, it was honestly one of the happiest moments of my life. This moment took me back through all the times I struggled and just left me full of goosebumps, simply amazing. Already pre-ordered the new album, this year is going to be great for many of us

Yes, she's extremely talented, but the piano part for this is very easy. Playing it in this song doesn't mean a whole lot. If she can genuinely play it to a good level she's exceptional

[@kellyjustice404]

The tour is here, in America and the UK. Most shows sold out right off though (except festivals)

[@kevinhawkey11]

What a sensational band. Best in the last 15 years. Refreshing to see everyone doesn’t need gimmicks and auto tune. Their songs are so creatively unique; a mix of humorous tongue-in-cheek and emotionally charged honesty. I just love them and can’t wait for the record.
