English rock band Wunderhorse (Jacob Slater, Harry Fowler, Peter Woodin, and Jamie Staples) have seen its popularity snowball the old-fashioned way: winning fans over through visceral live performances and Slater’s vivid songwriting.

Its 2022 debut album Cub saw it graduate from raucous basements to show-stealing support tours with the likes of Fontaines D.C, Pixies, and Sam Fender, and a packed-out Glastonbury Festival Woodsies tent — all in the space of a year.

Its new album Midas captures the raw power and energy that has set it apart as one of the most formidable live acts of recent years.

Rugged hooks, unfiltered noise, and fierce melodic sensitivity set Wunderhorse up for a year that will see it firmly established as an endlessly addictive and rousing generational talent.
