Biography

English band The Wedding Present played an important and undervalued role in the development of British indie-rock. While other English bands of the time, such as The Smiths and The Fall, regularly get more credit, the Wedding Present sound closer to most indie-rock bands of today than either of those bands.

Essentially a vehicle for singer-songwriter David Gedge, the Wedding Present's line-up of… Read more in Amazon's The Wedding Present Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the WP's best, February 7, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Saturnalia (Audio CD)
I am a huge WP fan and currently this is my favorite WP album. It is half way between the gritty punk of WP and the lovestruck pop of Cinerama. The only other album that comes close is the Live in Belfast album, but, I still prefer Saturnalia.

If you like WP, this will likely be your faovrite WP album of all time, I know it is mine. Gedge really outdid himself on this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Returning to their roots, it's loud!!, July 29, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Saturnalia (Audio CD)
I have to say is this album is a fine return to the essential Wedding Present. It's loud, beautiful guitar rock. The lyrics reflect Gedge's angry, bitter view on love and sex. Great stuff here, just buy it and play it loud!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great mid 90's indie rock, March 3, 2002

This review is from: Saturnalia (Audio CD)
I'd recomend this CD to any fans of bands like pavement though i think the Weddoes are a better over all band. Jet Girl and Kansas
have great boy/girl vocals and Big Boots has that slow pavementy sound. This is a great CD from one of the Best bands in this genre.
