Ellie Roswell of Wolf Alice

Four piece alt-rock band hailing from London Wolf Alice have already had an amazing start to 2015. Featuring on the BBC Sound of 2015 longlist and kicking off the year with a headline tour in Australia, we expect to see big things from the quartet.

Ellie Rowsell, Joel Amey, Joff Oddie and Theo Ellis are the people behind Wolf Alice, formed in 2010 their sound has developed from folk-tinged pop, through doom folk, via grunge pop and settling (for now) on something harder with a tendency to lean on the darker side of alternative rock.

Soon to embark on their headline UK tour, we caught up with Ellie beforehand to find out what 2015 has in store for them, what touring is really like and her dream gig…
