THE WEDDING PRESENT – SEAMONSTERS 30TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERTS

Im Zuge des 30-Jährigen Jubiläums ihres wichtigstestes Albums “Seamonster” spielen The Wedding Present eine Serie von Konzerte!

Der Guardian schrieb nach dem Release von Seamonsters – das in nur 12 Tagen aufgenommen wurde – Folgendes:
“(Engineer, Steve) Albini has given The Wedding Present considerable weight, with Gedge’s voice trickling between banks of scowling guitars” und zählte das Album zu einem der ‘1,000 albums to hear before you die’.
Trotz des kompromisslosen Sounds erreichte das Album damals Platz #13 der Britischen Charts und wird mittlerweile (zurecht) als Klassiker bezeichnet.

Following the release of Seamonsters – which was recorded in twelve days during 1991 – The Guardian newspaper noted that: “(Engineer, Steve) Albini has given The Wedding Present considerable weight, with Gedge’s voice trickling between banks of scowling guitars” and went on to feature it in its list of ‘1,000 albums to hear before you die’. Despite its uncompromising sound the album reached No. 13 in the British album charts and has been hailed as a classic.
