Just checking my records, I haven’t written about these guys since 2008. Well,The Wombats have a new single out called Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves), which has since reached the Top 20 in the UK, while being the highest charting single to date in Australia, Germany and Holland. Wonder how its going to do here in Canada? Look for the single on the upcoming 2011 album “The Wombats Proudly Present A Guide To Love, Loss and Desperation”; which minus the first part, sounds like it should be a Frightened Rabbit album.
Check out the single (and video) below.

Wombats appear to have little fear of humans. They can be awkwardly tamed in a captive situation, and even coaxed to be patted and held.
The ones found in England have got some kicks. Take a listen to the Wombats.
They sound a little like Supergrass and a little like the Weakerthans. Here’s the video for ‘Lost in the Post’. Insane hook on the chorus and outro. What’s up with all the Santa’s? (I can’t say its the weirdest video I’ve seen all day…
Most of their tracks can be found on either their website or their myspace page. They were even in Toronto back in March for Canadian Music week.
