![]() ![]() It’s clear that the band isn’t just content with surviving but by thriving. Hitting a recent milestone, it’s also been over ten years since their ever-popular third album, This Modern Glitch (2010). Their debut album A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation (2007), was an acute perspective on navigating the growing pains of fresh adulthood. Mixing insightful songwriting and toe-tapping melodies with a strong desire to tour, it’s no mystery why they’ve been warmly welcomed across the world. The band consists of frontman Matthew ‘Murph’ Murphy (vocals/guitar), Dan Haggis (drums), and Tord Øverland Knudsen (bass/keys). They’ve come a long way since covering the Postman Pat theme tune in Norweigan, carrying around a cuddly stuffed animal called Cherub, and playing music together after meeting at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.Īfter almost two decades together and three top-five UK albums, they’ve managed to maintain a glittering element of escapism and a greater fan-following throughout. Contrary to what you may think because of their name, The Wombats don’t actually originate from Australia. But needing a title to put on a poster of their first Liverpool gig, they chose their name after calling each other ‘Wombo’ and ‘Stupid Wombat’.
