Nihilism and jaded optimism converge as Ewan Grant (guitar, vocals) and Owen Wicksted (drums, bass, synths) met resulting in angst driven, melodic hook-heavy pop songs with garage sensibilities. 

The post-punk duo reside in Glasgow, Scotland and since their inception in 2015 have released their debut 7” through Damnably with singles recorded by Steve Albini at Electrical Audio in Chicago. 

A hunger to be creatively honest in a country so hell-bent on condemning original ideas and self expression has driven WOMPS from working supermarket jobs to playing big stages in the short time since their formation. The band have already toured Europe, UK and the east coast of the US including performances at CMJ, London Calling and Radio One’s big weekend festivals. Picking up support along the way from worldwide press including Consequence of Sound, The Guardian, Fred Perry and Brooklyn Vegan.


Their debut LP ‘Our Fertile Forever’ is set for release in summer 2016 on Displaced Records with plans of extensive US and UK tours, including appearances at SXSW and other summer festivals scheduled in support.
