Artist Profile
Math rock? Post-punk-art-funk? What in heck do genre labels mean when the music has as much attitude, flair and style as Wild Palms’s goth disco? Previously known as Ex-Lion Tamers, the London quartet changed their name in 2009, but not their edge - why would they? Known for a brooding, sinister kind of dance floor racket, Wild Palms blend the dissonant edge of contemporary acts such as Selfish C*nt, with the orthodox rebelliousness of god fathers PiL and Gang of Four, so make sure get down to their tunes at Off Set Festival this September.
Reviews
Wild Palms are all-over-the-shop embracing, Spector wall of sound buzzing guitars and even warped Friendly Fires-esque batucada. It’s tough to think of any better bands right now.
- The Fly
By rights, Wild Palms should be sharing a flat in New Cross with Pull Tiger Tail and be on “friends with benefits” terms with her from Art Brut.
