WHAT IT IS: Following a 2014 breakthrough in the U.K., the alt-rock foursome now have their sights set on the U.S. and are poised for an international takeover. Last year, the group appeared on the prestigious BBC Sound of 2015 shortlist, was named one of iTunes’ Artists for 2014, became the #4 Most Blogged artist of 2014 on Hype Machine and won Best Breakthrough Artist at the U.K. Festival Awards. Multiple outlets have referred to them as an Artist to Watch. With the upcoming release of their debut album, Wolf Alice is poised for another banner year.
