Editor's note

The Wombats, Liverpool's indie rock trio

A band that pairs upbeat melodies with lyrics about everyday anxieties and romantic mishaps.

For a quick sense of their thing, try 'Greek Tragedy' or 'Sex And Question Marks.' They're good at making awkward moments sound like a party.

They've built a following with songs like 'Greek Tragedy' and 'Kill The Director,' which capture that mix of catchy guitar lines and lyrics about modern worries. Tracks like 'Sex And Question Marks' show how they turn personal fumbles into something you can hum along to. They've just kept at it, letting the songs speak for themselves without much fuss about reinvention.

The Wombats formed in Liverpool, with Matthew Murphy on vocals and guitar, Dan Haggis on drums, and Tord Øverland Knudsen on bass. Their debut album was 'The Modern Glitch,' and they later put out 'Greek Tragedy' in 2015. They've mostly stuck to a straightforward, tuneful sound, playing shows and making records along the way.

Archive material and source history

The Wombats formed in Liverpool, with Matthew Murphy on vocals and guitar, Dan Haggis on drums, and Tord Øverland Knudsen on bass. Their debut album was called 'The Modern Glitch,' and they later put out a record titled 'Greek Tragedy' in 2015, which included the song of the same name. That track, along with others like 'Kill The Director' and 'Moving to New York,' helped build their following in indie rock.

Some of their songs, such as 'Sex And Question Marks' and 'Our Perfect Disease,' show the band's knack for pairing upbeat melodies with lyrics that lean into everyday anxieties and romantic mishaps. They've kept at it without much fuss about reinvention, sticking to a sound that's straightforward and tuneful.

There was some noise early on about a song called 'Let's Dance to Joy Division' rubbing people the wrong way, but it didn't really slow them down. They've mostly just kept making records and playing shows, letting the songs speak for themselves.
