Having already clocked up a string of radio plays from key influencers with their recent single \u2018Fool For You\u2019, it\u2019s safe to say things have kicked off with a bang for the Wild Smiles trio.<\/p>\n

Comprising of brothers Chris and Joe Peden along with drummer Ben Cook, Wild Smiles have taken the music scene by storm with their addictive lo-fi offerings and lyrical truths. Set to release their debut album \u2018Always Tomorrow\u2019 on Sunday Best recordings this October, their new single \u2018Never Wanted This\u2019 is due for release August 18th<\/sup> and today we premiere the video exclusively on Wonderland.<\/p>\n

True to their unique sound influenced by the drones of Velvet Underground, the low-fi garage clatter of Jesus & Mary Chain and the filth of Nirvana, \u2018Never Wanted This\u2019 features melodic lyrics, a progressive drum beat and guitar crescendos; whilst the lyrics offer a bold rejection of the dull aspects of prescribed day to day life. Singing: \u201cI could get a job I could wear a suit. A monkey in a suit to make some money\u201d, Wild Smiles mock the mundane in a loveable fashion. \u201cIt\u2019s our perception of life,\u201d says Ben. \u201cNot the voice of a generation but just how we three see it.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘Never Wanted This’ is available on iTunes<\/a>\u00a0and the album is available for pre-prder here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
