English alternative rock band, Wolf Alice, has celebrated the 10th anniversary of their EP, “Creature Songs”, which helped to put the group on the UK rock scene. The project followed on from their debut EP, “Blush”, and marked the third EP by the group. It was produced by Catherine Marks and was longlisted for the BBC Sound of 2015. The EP was released through Dirty Hit on May 26, 2014, and contained tracks such as “Moaning Lisa Smile”, “Storms”, “Heavenly Creatures”, and “We’re Not The Same”.
Wolf Alice’s members reflected on their experience of working on “Creature Songs” before their rise to fame and took a look back at the EP, ten years since its initial release. They described themselves as “just four baby rats who liked quoting The Simpsons and liquorice rizzla and big muff pedals and that song by the vines that I can’t remember the name of but rocked my doc martens off”. The band shared their gratitude for the support of their fans, hinting that a re-release may be on the way.

A beast of a band that lure in unsuspecting indiepop kids with Mazzy Star coos and clipped, winsome indie love songs about old photographs,” read NME’s review at the time. The EP put the band on the map in 2014, and it was suggested that they were ones to keep an eye on.
Wolf Alice has since released three full-length albums: “My Love Is Cool” in 2015, Mercury Prize-winning “Visions Of A Life” in 2017, and “Blue Weekend” in 2021. The BRIT Award-winning band has recently completed their three-album deal with Dirty Hit and confirmed that they have moved into a new deal with Columbia. They are currently believed to be preparing their fourth album.
The band have been fairly quiet recently, but their song “Don’t Delete The Kisses” has recently featured on the soundtrack of The Boys spin-off series, Gen V. Wolf Alice also played an intimate charity show at London’s Sebright Arms in September 2021 as part of Barnfest, an all-dayer raising money for children’s cancer charity Flynne’s Barn
