Don't let the god-awful name put you off, but The Wombats are fast moving from annoying "we're so new and shiny!" popstrels to an actual good band. The three liverpudlians are: Murph (the dog), Tord (the fox) and Dan (the rat). The Wombats play sparkling pop guitar with brilliant melodies and story-telling lyrics that are more together than conjoined twins in a shared straight-jacket.
Their tunes have had NME, Q, Spin and Uncut bursting their little skinny jeans with excitement, and I can only agree. Although nowadays it seems like everyone is picking band names from the back of a Cadbury Animals packet, I think I can forgive The Wombats for watching Jumanji a few too many times. The band have just retreated in to the studio to record their first "proper" album, which should be available in October. The singles are available to buy or download now.
