Marquee Memories: The Wombats

The Liverpudlian trio, The Wombats, formed in the early 2000s after singer and guitarist Matthew Murphy met bassist Tord Øverland-Knudsen and drummer Dan Haggis while studying at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA). Their breakthrough came with 2007's A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation, and like the olympics follow-up LPs every four years from This Modern Glitch (2011) and Glitterbug (2015) helped grow their fanbase. It also didn't hurt that singles “Let’s Dance to Joy Division” and “Greek Tragedy” were embraced by UK and US audiences.
