The Wombats(袋熊)乐队是一支诞生于利物浦的三人乐队,这支在音乐界闪耀着光芒,快速的流行朋克乐队抓住了许多听众的耳朵。  在当地音乐急速发展的大环境下,The Wombats(袋熊)乐队成立于2年以前,2名成员是土生土长的利物浦人:主唱,吉他手和键盘手的Matthew Murphy以及鼓手Dan Haggis。还有一名来自北欧不过把家设在利物浦的Tord Overland-Knudsen,他是贝司手,也可以演唱。  已经引起Scouseland(地名)注意的The Wombats(袋熊)乐队,现在又引起了从中国到加拿大的海外市场的注意。乐队的歌曲“Caravans in Wales” 和 “If I had Sky I’d be alright”中悲伤而又和谐的急速旋律触动了世界的神经,尽管这两支歌曲都是英文歌曲。乐队现在在挪威,法国和马拉维市场上都拥有国际优势。  从一些已经谈到的地方获得了许多赞扬,乐队又被描述为:“看到的快乐” (Gigwise.com, 英国),“一场下次必须看的演出,因为他们已经在快速成为rock 'n' roll 超级明星的轨道上了” (Chart 杂志, 加拿大)。当他们的经理谈到他们在北京Midi音乐节上出现的时候说“只有半个小时的精彩的音乐会—却感觉比滚石演唱会场面都大”。  已经发行了4个曾经在第一电台广播的EP,现在乐队终于要全球发行他们的首张单曲‘Lost in the Post’给那些等待许久的听众。但是他们不想成为坐在流行桂冠上的三重唱,他们计划几周后回到工作室录制他们的三支新曲,“Sunday TV”,“She’s Not That Beautifu”和“At the Disco”,这三支歌曲已经在最近的演出中引起了风暴。

Humorous pop-punk bands are a mainstay of many large towns, so it takes something more for one to break into the mainstream. Enter the Wombats, a three-man cross between Art Brut's Wire-like fractured art-punk and Half Man Half Biscuit's wicked Liverpudlian humor. Not only are the Wombats fellow Scousers, they have a tangential Beatles connection: singer and guitarist Matthew "Murph" Murphy and drummer Dan Haggis formed the Wombats in 2003 when they were students at the Paul McCartney-founded Liverpool Institute for the Performing Arts. After drafting in bassist Tord Overland Knudsen (unsurprisingly, not a native of Liverpool, but a Norwegian student also attending the LIPA), the members of the new trio chose their name at random on the day of their first gig. Though early shows were as much alcohol-fueled Dada-esque performance art as anything else (the three members dressed in jester's outfits and sang songs with titles like "Ode to Charles the Goat"), the trio quickly progressed into a spiky blend of danceable indie rock, Murph's sardonic lyrics, and high-energy pop hooks.

The Wombats signed to the indie label Kids Records in 2005 and released three singles, "Lost in the Post," "Moving to New York," and "Backfire at the Disco," the last of which reached the U.K. Top 30 singles chart. At that point, the trio made the jump to the higher-profile indie 14th Floor Records and released its breakthrough single, "Let's Dance to Joy Division" ("and celebrate the irony" continues the chorus), in the summer of 2007. The band's debut album, A Guide to Love, Loss & Desperation, followed.
