The Wedding Present

From The Cure, R.E.M. and The Smiths, to Broken Social Scene, Pavement, Portishead and more, here are 20 songs by bands where the singers keep their mouths shut.

The Wedding Present's third album is an indie rock classic and one of the great Loud Quiet Loud records of all time. "It was probably the first to be honest," says frontman David Gedge.

The double vinyl anniversary edition includes the original album and a bonus disc with EP tracks, Peel Sessions and more. The Wedding Present will also play ‘Seamonsters‘ in full for a 30th Anniversary livestream.

Plus Nathaniel Rateliff, Otoboke Beaver, H.E.R., Girlpool, Adult Mom, and more livestreams you can watch this week since there are no live concerts to attend.

The album features Wedding Present classics in acoustic but not entirely unplugged form, plus a new duet with Sleeper's Louise Wener.
