Nihilism and jaded optimism converge as Ewan Grant (guitar, vocals) and Owen Wicksted (drums, bass, synths) met resulting in angst driven, melodic hook-heavy pop songs with garage sensibilities.
The post-punk duo reside in Glasgow, Scotland and since their inception in 2015 have released their debut 7” through Damnably and their debut 12" through Displaced Records. Both releases feature singles recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago as well as tracks recorded by Glasgow based producer Chris Marshall.
The band have already toured Europe, UK and the east coast of the US with bands such as YUNG, METZ and Honeyblood. Other notable performances include SXSW, CMJ, CMW, London Calling, Radio One’s Big Weekend and T In The Park. Picking up support along the way from worldwide press including Consequence of Sound, The Guardian, The Skinny, Fred Perry and Brooklyn Vegan.
WOMPS make an exciting return to SXSW 2017 and further UK headline dates to promote their debut record 'Our Fertile Forever'. They will also be showcasing a more focussed post-punk aesthetic on new tracks.
