ABOUT

We’re The Wondersmiths – Imagine ‘Indie electro-rock & pop... with a hint of wonder!’ from London / Luton, UK.

Since appearing on BBC introducing, we have had a successful start to our band career – having supported some of the finest acts around including Grouplove, The Maccabees, Bloc Party and Kasabian!

We’ve played shows at some of London’s most iconic venues including, Camden’s Underworld, The Barfly and Proud, Scala at Kings Cross, The Purple Turtle, Oxford Street’s 100 Club and Islington’s O2 Academy, but the pinnacle of all our gigs so far is an incredible and unforgettable industry showcase event at the legendary Marshall Amplifiers factory theater, the reward for winning MMG’s national battle of the bands, where we were scouted by and signed to London based label 'The Animal Farm'
