Wolf Alice are an alternative rock band from North London. At first, they were a two-person band but now there are 4 band members.

Their official debut single "Fluffy" was released in February 2013 and the single "Bros" was released in May of the same year. They then went on to release their official debut EP "Blush" in October 2013, their second "Creature Songs" in May 2014 and in February 2015 they released the lead single "Giant Peach" from their debut album "My Love Is Cool". 

The album "My Love Is Cool" was released in the UK and the United States in June 2015. The album contains the single "Bros" which is the song myself and Freya have selected to base our music video around.

Most of the group's early work was folk-tinged pop but the band became more rock-oriented after the rhythm section joined. The band once said their music was "rocky pop" and The Daily Telegraph declared Wolf Alice's debut album as "feral and sophisticated".

During the band's 5 year career they have received many various music awards. In 2014 they were given the 'Best breakthrough artist' award at the UK Festival Awards. In 2015 they received iTunes' 'Best New Artist/Band' award and since, they have been nominated for the 2015 Mercury Prize. They have also been nominated as 'Best British Band', 'Best Live Band', 'Best Album Supported by HMV ("My Love is Cool")', 'Best Track ("Giant Peach"), 'Best Music Video ("You're a Germ")' and 'Best Fan Community' for the 2016 NME Awards. Wolf Alice have also been nominated for the 'Best Rock Performance' award for the 2016 Grammy Awards.
