History

Wolf Alice were formed in 2010 and began as an acoustic duo between Ellie Rowsell and Joff Oddie. Their name came from a short story by Angela Carter.French, Matthew (2013) "[http://www.clashmusic.com/features/otw-481-wolf-alice OTW #481: Wolf Alice]", Clash, 26 February 2013.

Retrieved 9 March 2013 Eventually deciding to add electric elements to their sound, they recruited Rowsell's childhood friend Sadie Cleary to play bass and Oddie's friend James DC to be their drummer. They self-released an EP called Wolf Alice that year, featuring three songs: "Every Cloud", "Wednesday", and "Destroy Me".{{cite web |last=Amorosi |first=AD |url=http://floodmagazine.com/25874/what-is-real-wolf-alice/ |title=What Is Real?: Wolf Alice |work=Flood Magazine |date=10 February 2016 |access-date=4 June 2018}}
