Album Notes & Community Reviews

The veteran English alternative rock band delivers their fifth and ultimately final studio album. 'Wishville' sees the group continuing to distance themselves from their shoegaze origins, fully embracing a polished, dense post-grunge sound aimed at American rock radio. Despite its energetic, passionate delivery and robust production, the record failed to achieve significant commercial success, leading to their subsequent disbandment.
