Legendary British post-punk/indie band The Wedding Present return to Australia on the back of their ninth studio album Going, Going…

Having formed in Leeds in 1985 around the lovelorn songwriting of David Gedge, the band soon acquired a reputation for bittersweet, breathtakingly honest songs of heartache immersed in whirlwind guitars — a jangly-yet-brawny sound, played at impossibly breakneck speeds, that was introduced to the world on their debut LP George Best.

NME called the album “an unmitigated delight” and subsequently invited The Wedding Present to contribute a track to the magazine’s C86 compilation — a cassette release that has remained hugely influential upon generations of noisy indie rock bands.

The Wedding Present today can be found at the top of their game, their 2016 album Going, Going... having been described as their masterpiece.

“It's hard to deny the brilliance of a band that can crank out an album as passionate, hook-filled and flat-out fiery as this”. — All Music
