WINGMEN

Product Information

Down In A Hole” has the air of The Stranglers, and has an unsettling feel, and the spoken word, “Mary Go Round” is almost a Warne recital. Like some dark, twisted poetry, an unwritten short story, maybe, whatever, it is a left turn. Available as 4 piece or Duos with Voices & Guitars / Voices, Guitar & Bass / Voices, Guitar & Drums or Cajon

It doesn’t matter who’s in the band, this thing is incredible. A good squad doesn’t always get great results. Here, they might as well start the open top bus ride, because Wingmen have won. ABOUT USLouder Than War is a music, culture and media publication headed by The Membranes & Goldblade frontman John Robb. Online since 2010 it is one of the fastest-growing and most respected music-related publications on the net. This album may well have never come about were it not for the fact that our lives were suddenly put on hold,” explains Paul. “Some of us felt the effects of the enforced isolation from friends and loved ones that followed – and wondering when the hell it was all gonna end – more keenly than others. ‘Down in the Hole’ is a nod to them, and those that live with the effects of depression to a greater or lesser degree on a daily basis. Not a particularly jolly subject I know, but the music suggested a fairly dark lyric and the song just kinda ended up writing itself”.As an exercise “to stop us all going stir crazy” this great album works on all levels dripping with classic influences from this collective of post-punk legends. And as we move into 2023, it is only recently that the band members have actually got together for the first time to rehearse for a short tour of the UK which runs through until the end of January with the band also including Rob Coombes from Supergrass on keyboards. As for the future of Wingmen, well that remains to be seen, so take the opportunity to see them now if you can. As someone pointed out, the only ironic thing about Alanis Morrisette’s “Ironic” was that there was no irony in it at all. My first impression of the album was that it sounded like a hybrid mix of the Stranglers and The Godfathers. But this is definitely an album that grew on me with each listen and the sound that the Wingmen have created inevitably draws on the collective influences of all their respective bands, with so many sonic nuances bleeding out from the rhythms and melodies weaved through each of the songs. Ultimately it proves to be an album greater than the sum of the parts of those musicians involved. Set for January next year, the tour will coincide with the release of the self-titled debut album from the new band featuring members of THE STRANGLERS, THE DAMNED, RUTS DC and JOHNNY MOPED. It’s funny how these things turn out,” explains Paul Gray. “We had no idea where this project might take us; an idea born out of frustration became a full band within 24 hours, words and riffs and much tuneage followed, beers and jolly banter ensued when we finally met up to mix the results, a record companysaid “yes please!” and now we find ourselves taking the results off on tour! And we’ll be joined by Rob Coombes from Supergrass on keys – it’s gonna be an absolute blast!”

These well seasoned musicians have years worth of combined professional experience and expertise under their musical belts. A four piece, live music act from Grimsby in the North of England, gigging the Swiss-French Alps ski scene in winters and a combination of the UK and Côte d’Azur in the summer months – but will travel all year round to wherever your celebration may be! They are brilliant and they are so very lovely. They are The Wingmen and they are exactly what you’re looking for in your ultimate party band!I just can’t wait for this line up to hit the stage and play these songs to the public,” continues drummer Marty. “It’s all about getting your hard work heard and getting a real live reaction. And having Rob Coombes onboard will make this band sparkle.” In fact, “Wingmen” the album, sounds as bleak as it deserves too, but it’s wonderfully and brilliantly done, because Wingmen, the band, are as close to royalty as you’re going to get. Although unconventional in its creation, the good news is that Wingmen is not just a studio project and will be a band that plays live. Dates are currently being booked and who knows what else the future holds for Wingmen. For now, we’ll leave the final words to guitarist extraordinaire Leigh Heggarty…
