On the sofa with The wombats 

The wombats have been impossible to ignore since "Let's dance to joy division" hit the charts in 2007 and we've been fans of The Wombats music, charisma and savvy songwriting ever since. After endless touring and festivals the band have landed back in Liverpool to chill out. However En(ore were allowed to sit down and have a shindig with the well-travelled Liverpudlians so we gathered on an old vintage sofa and asked the band some of your questions, which resulted in Toys R Us keyboards and some of their top secrets! 

Hello The Wombats, thanks a ton for taking the time to have a bit of a shindig with En(ore. What has the band been up to lately?

" Well we've been busy working on new material for our 3rd album which is going really well. We've also been working on a new fragrance for men we hope to release later this year called 'Guff'. AND... we are heading over to the states to play some of our old classics which is a bit nerve racking!"

So which three tracks are the quintessential Wombats?

"hmm, 3 tracks to sum us up.. i'd say Party in a forest, Tokyo and Jump into the fog"

What's your favourite song of the wombats?

" That's like asking a mother who has 30 children which one is there favourite I can't do that!"

What was the inspiration behind Little miss pipe dream? It's fairly different to other songs!

"Well that's funny we somehow found ourselves in Toys R Us and brought 3 keyboards which then allowed us to mess around with some chords. (we were a bit tipsy) however it's one of our favourites to play"

What has you excited for 2013?

" Well, writing and recording our new album is top of the list then performing in Mexico and a few other festivals this summer and also im quite looking forward to Iron Man 3 too.."

Lastly, what's something about The Wombats that nobody knows yet?

"Well I mentioned it earlier in the interview but we are in the perfume industry and are in the final stages of releasing 'Guff'"

Thank you so much for talking to En(ore! We'll be looking out for your new album hopefully next year!
