Leaning more heavily on synth blares and funk-disco beats than their guitar-orientated debut A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation, it's like a blast of musical Optrex to the face of 2011.

Because, for its genre - polished, uplifting, chart-bound electro indie-pop - This Modern Glitch is a flawless modern classic to file alongside Free All Angels by Ash, Franz Ferdinand's debut and Hard-Fi's Stars of CCTV. On the contrary, that scraping sound you can hear is the widespread music media dragging their shovels towards This Modern Glitch intending to bury - largely unheard and with extreme prejudice - the leading exponents of what the trolls have deemed "landfill indie".Īnd what a travesty that burial would be. They cross too many boxes - they're shamelessly radio-friendly and insanely melodic, they have a 'wacky' name and they're simply too popular/ist to garner much of a credible critical vote. So don’t miss out on your chance to see The Wombats, live, in their forthcoming Australian tour in October 2011.Just as comedy actors, no matter how massive their crowd-draw or how enjoyable their movies, stand a popsicle-in-Hell's chance of ever winning an Oscar, it's virtually unthinkable that the second album from Liverpool's The Wombats will grace the higher echelons of any end-of-year polls or the Mercury shortlist. With so much buzz surrounding ‘… This Modern Glitch’ and a live performance that will blow you away, it’s little wonder that Liverpool’s The Wombats are widely regarded as one of the hottest live dance rock bands in the world today… Cheeky lyrics, slick guitars and classic keys all blend together perfectly on this tongue in cheek, introspective look at today’s society. They’re refreshingly upbeat and humorous, whilst sonically sound at the same time.

This week also marks the highly anticipated release of the trio’s next single set as ‘Our Perfect Disease’, a track that will rock Australian fans in all the right ways! It was catapulted all the way to the number 2 position on the ARIA charts, staying in the top 30 since it’s release, and is now on it’s unyielding way to being certified Gold. The album instantly received widespread critical acclaim and was hailed ‘album of the week’ on both triple j and RADAR Radio. The release of ‘…This Modern Glitch’ in April 2011 has seen the band take their career to the next level. Combined sales of indie dancefloor smashes ‘Kill The Director’, ‘Let’s Dance To Joy Division’ (winner of the 2008 NME Award for Best Dancefloor Filler), ‘Backfire At The Disco’ and ‘Moving To New York’ reached 300,000 in the UK alone! The trio then embarked on a two-year tour, during which Liverpool’s biggest exports in a decade played to well over a million people! Their debut album 'Guide To Love, Loss And Desperation’, released in 2007 was a phenomenal success. Meeting at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts in 2003, Matthew Murphy, Dan Haggis and Norwegian-born Tord Øverland-Knudsen quickly became friends and soon after started to jam together.
