Our Take

The Wedding Present are back with their latest release, "X Marks The Spot / Strike!", and it's safe to say they haven't missed the mark with this one. The band's trademark jangly guitars and heartfelt lyrics are still in full force, making for a record that is both nostalgic and fresh.

On "X Marks The Spot", frontman David Gedge's vocals are as emotive as ever, perfectly complementing the shimmering guitar melodies. The track is a throwback to the band's earlier sound, with a touch of maturity that comes with age.

"Strike!" sees The Wedding Present experimenting with a more polished production style, resulting in a track that is both catchy and complex. The lyrics are witty and introspective, showing that the band still has plenty to say after all these years.

Overall, "X Marks The Spot / Strike!" is a solid addition to The Wedding Present's discography. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a testament to the band's enduring talent and ability to craft timeless indie rock anthems. Fans old and new will find plenty to love in this latest offering. Cheers to The Wedding Present for hitting the bullseye once again.

Fronted by the ever-charming David Gedge, the Wedding Present have been a staple of the UK music scene since the mid-80s, when they burst onto the scene with their debut album, "George Best." Known for their witty lyrics, infectious melodies, and jangly guitar riffs, the band quickly gained a loyal following of fans who couldn't get enough of their unique blend of indie pop. Over the years, the Wedding Present have released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including "Seamonsters," "Watusi," and "Valentina." Their live shows are legendary, with Gedge's deadpan delivery and the band's energetic performances never failing to captivate audiences. With their latest album, "Going, Going..." the Wedding Present have shown that they still have plenty of creative energy left in the tank. The album is a sprawling, ambitious work that sees the band exploring new sonic territory while staying true to their signature sound. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, the Wedding Present are a band that is sure to leave a lasting impression. So sit back, grab a pint, and let the music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
