It’s been quite the ascent for Wunderhorse: so much so, it’s hard to resist adjectives like “galloping” and “cantering”. But the British rock band have rapidly and raucously outgrown tiny basement venues — it’s no wonder frontman Jacob Slater was cast as Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook in Danny Boyle’s TV show. Wunderhorse’s second album Midas looks to all the different versions of epic offered by the likes of The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pixies, and Fontaines DC: “We wanted it to sound like your face is pressed up against the amp. No frills, no polish – just pure, uncut rock’n’roll.”
