The Wedding Present: 14 April 2010 - Toronto

By Ian Mathers

I was nearly as eager to find out what hearing a beloved album, Bizarro, in its entirety would be like, as I was just to see the band again.

The Wedding Present + Girl in a Coma: 10.April.2010 - New York

By Maria Schurr

The Wedding Present

By Ian Mathers

I was worried that the band would either rely too much on their (admittedly) superb new album El Rey or else just do a sort of old-times revue, but they managed to strike a nearly perfect balance between the old and the new.

Architecture and Morality: The Wedding Present Revisited

By Roger Holland

Pop scholars frequently undervalue The Wedding Present. If the Smiths were the undeniable figurehead for the UK's thriving independent pop scene of the 1980s, then Gedge's little-band-that-could certainly inherited that mantle.
