Wild Beasts, an indie rock band hailing from Kendal, England, captivated audiences with their unique sound. Originally formed in 2002 as "Fauve," the band underwent a name change to "Wild Beasts" in 2004. With Hayden on guitar and vocals, Benny on guitar, Tom on bass and vocals, and Bert on percussion and vocals, they created music that resonated with fans worldwide. However, on September 25th, 2017, the band announced their bittersweet decision to bring their journey to a close.
Throughout their career, Wild Beasts left an indelible mark on the music industry. Their distinctive blend of captivating melodies and thought-provoking lyrics showcased their immense talent and creativity. With each album release came a new sonic exploration that pushed boundaries and challenged conventions.
Whether it was Hayden's soulful voice or the intricate interplay between Benny's guitar riffs and Tom's basslines, Wild Beasts consistently delivered powerful performances that mesmerized audiences. Bert's skillful percussion added depth to their sound while his vocal contributions enhanced the band's harmonies.

'limbo, panto', the debut album from wild beasts, is a collection of ten beautiful, eccentric, very british tales. it's likely to be the most unique album you will hear this year. the album was recorded in malmo, sweden with producer tore johannson (who also worked on franz ferdinand's first album) and features songs about graverobbing, non league football, untold perversion, clip clopping coconut shells and the wildest falsetto since billy mackenzie. wild beasts are a wonderfully florid rethink of olde english indie from the lake district. think somewhere inbetween music hall melodrama and orange juice. absolutely ravishing stuff.
