Band history
In 2010, singer Ellie Rowsell and guitarist Joff Oddie teamed up. They found each other through an ad in the New Musical Express . Together they released an EP before the final line-up of Wolf Alice was found in 2012 with bassist Theo Ellis and drummer Joel Amey . The quartet released singles regularly and with Blush and Creature Songs two more EPs as independent releases in two years. They received good reviews and finally found a label to release their debut album in 2014. Early the following year, they were added to the BBC's expanded list for the Sound of 2015 , which predicts possible candidates for the breakthrough. The album My Love Is Cool was released in June and reached number 2 on the UK charts . It was also able to place in the top 100 in the US charts . The album was one of the proposals for the 2015 Mercury Prize .
In late 2015, her song Moaning Lisa Smile was nominated for a Grammy Award for best rock performance. In 2016, Michael Winterbottom directed the documentary On the Road , which accompanied the band on a tour of Great Britain.
The song Silk from the debut album was used in the credits of the film T2: Trainspotting in 2017 and is also part of the soundtrack.
In June 2017, Yuk Foo, the first pre-release single from her second album Visions of a Life, was released . A second single, Don't Delete the Kisses , followed in early July. In 2018 Wolf Alice won the Mercury Prize with "Visions of a Life".
