The Wedding Present April 2, 2010

Formed in 1985 during the wake of the Smiths' demise, the Wedding Present took the reins of British indie-pop power through much of the late '80s, amassing seventeen UK Top 40 hit singles. After splitting up for a while, the band reformed recently in the wake of the passing of legendary BBC DJ John Peel, and have issued a new EP in January, 'I'm From Further North Than You.'
