playListId=265075413Walking Wounded are a 5 piece band from East London playing a wide variety of original material from Rock to Arabic, Reggae to Balkan, Celtic to Ska and more…
They feature accordion, guitar, harmonica, bass, percussion and harmony vocals.
Don’t be fooled – despite their eclecticism the Wounded retain their distinctive sound that makes them instantly recognisable and the band rock with an energy that many an electric band would envy.The band were one of the winners of the 2004 Glastonbury unsigned bands competition and one of The Guardian’s ‘Best of the rest’ at Glastonbury 2004. And now some press quotes:'Party musicians, ideal for your local rave up. This bunch are a whole world party on their own ’ (Folk Roots);'...mini-world-music-fest on disc…a set of celebratory, high-spirited workouts impossible to resist.' ROCKnREEL [re 'Home Sweet Hackney' CD]'Built around the stirringly poetic songs of frontman Hugh Poulton….the band drag in loose strands from all the world’s musics, be it eastern European accordion and fiddle or Chicago blues harmonica and slide guitar. These are then woven into joyous tapestries, be they simple celebrations of life, heartbreaking ballads, or intense grooves.' ROCKnREEL [re 'It's Just The Way It Is' CD]‘ London is a hotbed of undiscovered talent judging by the Walking Wounded’s wry lyrics'
( Evening Standard);'Walking Wounded are a band with roots, rhythm, rock and conscience… Delivered in a style similar to the Levellers, i.e. full blast, the Walking Wounded are singing honest, loud and live…’
(Detour);‘This band are fiercely proud of their eclecticism which sees them glide through acoustic punk, Jazz and pop' (Mojo).
