WU LYF Announce North American Tour!

Wed Jul 27 15:00:25 CDT 2011

Before every volcanic eruption comes a low, steady rumble. WU LYF’s trans-Atlantic buzz detonated Stateside this past week as they played three intensely energetic sold-out shows in New York City and Los Angeles. The Manchester, England 4-piece are now pleased to announce a full run of North American dates, kicking off in Philadelphia on November 5th. Audiences should expect a force-field of sound filled to the brim with WU LYF’s signature uncompromising Heavy Pop. Please visit www.WULYF.org for more info.

WU LYF’s debut album, Go Tell Fire To The Mountain, is set for physical release on September 6th on the band’s own imprint L Y F Recordings and is currently available via digital retailers. After sequestering themselves away inside a disused church WU LYF began creating the tracks which make up  Go Tell Fire To The Mountain.  During the recording period their self-produced videos  - posted on their fledgling web site - attracted the immediate attention of British music fans and the UK media while a series of euphoric live performances quickly earned them a reputation as the most exciting new band in Britain.  WU LYF are surrounded by a group of friends and like-minded souls who make videos, create art, take photos and make up the L Y F (Lucifer Youth Foundation).

Praise for WU LYF Live:

"...their stirring debut record, Go Tell Fire to the Mountain (out now digitally), which marries the chest-thumping hollering of singer-keyboardist Ellery "Elle Jaie" Roberts with post-punk guitars in an anthemic brew. It was a winning combination Friday night at a sold-out Mercury Lounge in New York City.”  - Spin

“Those sweaty, inspired Mancs brought down the house once again last Friday night. The insanity of the heat wave outside brought out their beast within….It's those in the know who see that these guys have a fire in their heart and an album of songs that displays their intensity and passion.” – Music Snobbery
