This one is going straight into the buzz bin. Wolf Alice are a 4-piece from London. We're spinning their new single Moaning Lisa Smile. Check out this video. It is a smash.

Ellie Roswell, Joel Amey, Joff Oddie and Theo Ellis make up the band that is drawing comparisons to Hole and Elastica. I think their sound is more in line with Veruca Salt and Juliana Hatfield Three. No matter how you analyze this band, they jam. Ellie has some serious pipes.

The debut CD Love Is Cool drops on June 23. In it's first week on the Alt chart, "Moaning Lisa Smile" went into the Top 30. I expect it to climb quickly from that great start.

The word "Wolf" has been getting alot of play at Alt in the last couple of months. Along with this band name, some titles featuring the word are all over the place. "The Wolf" is the new song by Mumford & Sons. "Wolfpack" came in late last year from Angels & Airwaves. And, "Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)" is AWOLNATION's new single. Wolf Matthews wishes he were back at KRNA right about now. He can still listen live on Radio Pup from NW Illinois. Howl ON!

Here's Wolf Alice's Glastonbury set from last year.
