Информация о артисте
The Wombats - группа из города Ливерпуль, Англия. В состав группы входят трое участников: Мэтью Мерфи (Matthew Murphy) - вокал, гитара, Дэн Хаггис (Dan Haggis) - барабаны и Торд Оверленд-Кнюдсен (Tord Øverland-Knudsen) - бас. Группа подписана на рекорд-лейблах 14th Floor Records и Roadrunner Records в США.
Трое участников группы встретились в 2003 году в Ливерпульском институте изобразительных искусств, вскоре стали друзьями и начали играть вместе. Тройка колесила по стране на своем Vauxhall Agila, давая концерты и посвящая все свое свободное время музыке. В 2006 году группа выпустила свой дебютный сингл "Girls, Boys, and Marsupials", но издан он был лишь в Японии.
В январе 2007 The Wombats выпустили ограниченным тиражом второй винил "Moving to New York", а в мае того же года и третий сингл под названием "Backfire at the Disco", который достиг 35 позиции в UK Singles Chart. Затем последовал первый полноценный сингл "Kill the Director". Выход дебютного альбома "The Wombats Proudly Present: A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation" в октябре 2007 совпал с релизом сингла "Let's Dance to Joy Division" и достиг 11 номера в UK Albums Chart. Релиз был поддержан европейским туром, а его финалом стала вечеринка в Ливерпульской академии на День благодарения.
2008 год начался для группы с открытия церемонии Liverpool, European Capital of Culture на Liverpool Arena. "Moving to New York" был переиздан 14 января 2008 и поднялся до 13 строчки UK Singles Chart, а 28 февраля сингл "Let's Dance to Joy Division" получил награду от журнала NME в номинации "Best Dancefloor Filler".
В апреле 2008 года состоялся первый американский релиз на лейбле Bright Antenna, получив название "The Wombats EP". Сразу после выхода пластинки группа отправилась в полноценный тур по Британии, также заглянув в Европу и Японию.
Летом того же года The Wombats можно было увидеть на нескольких больших фестивалях, таких как Glastonbury, T in the Park, а также Reading and Leeds Festival, где они разогревали публику перед Babyshambles.
В сентябре 2010 группа объявила, что уже заканчивает свою вторую полноформатную пластинку на MRG Recording Studio в Лос-Анджелесе. Релиз был намечен на начало 2011 года, а продюсером стал Eric Valetine, ранее работавший с Lostprophets и Queens of the Stone Age. Также в создании пластинки принимал участие продюсер Jacknife Lee.
Первый сингл с грядущего альбома "Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)" был выпущен в Британии 27 сентября 2010 года и дебютировал на 23 строчке UK Singles Chart, а видео на песню снималось в Лос-Анджелесе. Далее последовал сингл "Jump into the Fog", который вышел 24 января 2011 и состоял из 4 песен: "Jump into the Fog", "How I Miss Sally Bray", "Valentine" и "Addicted to the Cure". Заглавная песня была также доступна для бесплатного скачивания на официальном сайте группы и получила премию Zane Lowe's Hottest Record in the World 8 ноября 2010 года. Следующим синглом стал "Anti-D", а релиз четвертого сингла "Techno Fan" намечен на 20 июня 2011.
Второй альбом группы "This Modern Glitch" вышел 22 апреля (Австралия), 25 апреля (Европа) и 27 апреля (США) на дисках, а также 7" и 12" винилах.

There are two artists that share this name:
1) The Wombats are a three-piece indie band which formed in 2003 in Liverpool, England. The band consists of Matthew Murphy (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Tord Øverland Knudsen (bass, vocals) and Dan Haggis (drums, vocals). Murphy and Haggis are native Liverpudlians and Øverland-Knudsen is Norwegian. The members met while they were students at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. The band has released two albums, "A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation" (2007) and "This Modern Glitch" (2011).
Early Years 2003 - 2006
The three met at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. The school gave them the chance to play gigs to over 20,000 people in China. This was one of the band's first trips to play outside the UK. They spent their time traveling around the country in a Vauxhall Agila and spent most of their time drunk, as quoted by the band while on the Colin Murray show in 2007. Their debut single Lost in the Post/Party in a Forest (Where's Laura) was released at the end of 2006. They also managed to release an album in Japan called Girls, Boys and Marsupials and reached fame over in the Far East.
Present Day 2007 -
The band then released a second limited edition vinyl called Moving to New York in January, 2007. This single got critical acclaim from Radio DJs such as Colin Murray and Zane Lowe. In May the band released their third single called Backfire at the Disco this then lead to the band successfully released their first full single Kill the Director in late July. This single managed to reach #35 in the U.K Singles Chart. Their last single "Let's Dance To Joy Division" was released in October 2007, to coincide with the release of their debut album, entitled The Wombats Proudly Present: A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation which managed to get to #11 in the U.K charts. The release is being followed by a European tour ending with a Christmas party at Liverpool Academy. Moving to New York will be re-released on January 14, 2008.
The band released their second album: 'The Wombats Proudly Present: This Modern Glitch' on April 25th, 2011.

2) Heroes of the modern garage revival, the Wombats were born sometime in the late 70s, somewhere in the leafy lanes of Maple Heights, Ohio. Teenage guitar strangler John Zinrich, a.k.a. Johnny Fettish (so called because he had a thing for biting women's knees under tables, hence "John Knee Fetish"), had previously lived out the punk ideal by dropping out of high school at age 15 to join Public Enemy, noted in Cle 3.0 for doing "the fastest version ever attempted of 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'." Striving for a poppier sound, Fettish and his suburban neighbor Vic Halm penned a series of power-punk pop gems and entered the first national "Battle of the Garages" competition run by Bomp/Voxx honcho Greg Shaw. The 'Bats contributed a track, "The Reason Why" to the first "Battle" compilation and played on the national "Battle" tour in 1981. Positive public reaction won them a recording contract, and between 1981 and 1984 the 'Bats released two singles and an album, "Zontar Must Die!" on Bomp/Voxx. They also played various notable East Coast and local venues, including the first WRUW Studio Arama show and the opening night of the Lakefront (which displayed "Wombats" on its curb sign for several years as a result). Their energetic live show was notable for speedy fuzzy guitars pumped through Marshall stacks, unintelligible vocals, and the sight of 5'4" Fettish leaping two feet in the air, against a backdrop of six-foot-tall John Lennon-lookalike Halm and equally towering bassist Tim Ratley. In 1984 the Wombats played a show with the seminal Columbus band Great Plains, who brought them to the attention of Gerard Cosloy at Homestead Records. The Wombats subsequently recorded one EP for Homestead, "Mudpuddles", which came out in 1985. Unfortunately, the band had a falling out with Cosloy over their inability to tour, since drummer Tommy Edwards was busy studying to be a refrigerator repairman. As a result, promotion for "Mudpuddles" was almost nil and the 'Bats found themselves once again without a label. In 1986, Fettish and Halm wrote and recorded some excellent demos for a third album which they hoped to place on a major label, but due to lack of interest this project never saw the light of day. Since then, the 'Bats have played sporadically around Cleveland with various lineups.
