Wonderswan was conceived early in 2008 in a dark, damp basement in Leeds and incubated in a warm pouch by the radiant glow of a shared love for scuzzy 90s lo-fi slacker bands. The fledgling creature hatched in April with the addition of drummer G.E.D who heard the youngster crying out with hunger as he floated by attached to some helium balloons. With the additional nourishment of his frantic c86 style drummings, Wonderswan quickly matured and soon found itself performing alongside some of its own favourite bands, including Times New Viking, No Age, Copy Haho and Lovvers to name just a few.
EXCITING NEWS! Our debut single comes out on Good Form Club on 5th October. You can pre-order it here or come along to the launch party in Leeds on 5th October where you can pick one up with your own two hands. Assuming you have two hands... I guess there's a chance you might not, in which case you may have to improvise.
Also we are about to finish writing and start recording an EP to be released by the lovely lovely people at Sea Owl. New songs should start creeping into the live set any day now...
What other people say...
"A beautifully shambolic fuzz laden racket...the sound of beautiful chaos, Pavement meets Dinosaur Jr." The Guardian (read article here)
"A pure piece of early 90’s nostalgia with laid back vocals and scuzzy guitars, full of melancholic optimism. In short, they sound like avid Pavement fans, but this can only be a good thing." P.i.X (read article here)
"Frequently inaudible, but who needs to hear the singer's voice anyway?" Leeds Music Scene (read here)
"The debut 'Wonderswan' release starts off in classic nu-indie fashion with electro effect ridden guitars joined shortly by somewhat uninteresting vocals that sound simply awful over the rabble in the background... I have no idea why Dance To The Radio have licence this to be pressed... There really are no positives I can take from it." SCORPIO PR and Review "The 3rd Biggest Indiependent Music E-Zine In The UK" (read here)
Fantastic upcoming band, Pharaohs, will shortly be releasing their new
EP on All Aboard Records - "We've Tried Nothing and We're All Out Of
Ideas" and to celebrate will be playing a special launch gig at the
infamous Old Blue Last on 4th November!
