The Wonder Stuff

These Midlands rockers, The Wonderstuff, from Stourbridge have been a band for almost thirty years now, if you rule out their six-year hiatus. They formed from collaboration with band members from Pop Will Eat Itself and signed with Polydor Records in 1987. Tonight they are in their second line up, in the present day, performing some of their biggest hits to date. They open with “Better Get Ready for a Fist Fight” creating a huge wall of sound with their neo-reggae sound that they are so well known for. This band have earned themselves such a good following over the years, with this bunch in this room just singing every single word to every single song that they perform. It’s a very special atmosphere as though there are the older fans, who have been with the band since the 80’s and the young ones who are getting their friends to this show. The Wonderstuff have definitely earned themselves a place in history with all that they have achieved so far! “A Wish Away” is a huge song tonight, with a fantastic reaction from the audience, especially as they go into the first chorus. It sets the bar for what is going to be a night to remember for these Midland rockers.
