Let's Wrestle

Let's Wrestle met years ago and bonded over Meat and Records after a while a band was formed and soon the world shall be conquered. Other things Let's Wrestle like include Beer, Paul McCartney, Model Villages, Top Gear and Volvos

Let's Wrestle have influences as vast as Black Flag to Buddy Holly or Faust to Edith Piaf, But are ultimatly trying to be as raw as possible and they try to write songs that make your soul crumble aswell as making you smile, sing along and clap your hands

Let's Wrestle Are Wesley Patrick Gonzalez (Vocals and Guitar), Mike Lightning (Bass and Vocals) and Darkus Bishop (Drums)  

"Savant genius from reckless London-based trio... 4 stars
In a month where 90% of new acts have sounded like Panda Bear, The Arcade Fire and Little Boots, the pleasure wrought by this sui generis collection cannot be overstated. Recorded in a Whitechapel basement by three men barely into their twenties, In the Court Of... sounds both warmly familiar yet dazzlingly fresh. Subserved by bassist Mike Lightning and drummer Darkus Bishop, the damaged brain of vocalist/guitarist Wesley Patrick Gonzalez crafts urban Learesque pop-punk ecstasies about the usual - buying a mattress (Insects), punching Johnny Borrell (I'm in Fighting Mode), falling for your bassist because he has Princess Diana hair (Diana's Hair) - that hook cheekily onto the frayed coat-tails of Barrett, Buzzcocks and Neutral Milk Hotel. Some might find their ramshackle rhythms as insubstantial as a dream, others will be too swaddled in bliss to care."  - MOJO Review for 'In the Court Of The Wrestling Lets'

“mark e smith, thurston moore and eddie argos all bundled inside an awkward kid in sunglasses,which is basically fucking amazing” NME

“something of the early Wedding Present to Let’s Wrestle. It’s not just in the way that the guitars go after each other and chatter magnificently in heady abandon, but it’s also in the way that the lyrics are so insanely self-possessed/obsessed' PLAN B

“kings of slack breeze into town with a tinpan piece of indie the jarmans would kill each other for.”
NME for ‘I Won’t Lie To You’ Track of the Week

“'I Won't Lie To You’ is so life affirming shambolic, it sounds like they actually split up realise they can't live without each other and
decide to make another go of it somewhere in the middle.” UNCUT

“like The Buzzcocks running down the street with their pants round their ankles, ‘I Won’t Lie To You’ all but trips over itself to bowl the listener over in a frenzied rush of pop hooks. It ends on a fumbled guitar solo that sees our favorite reprobates get to third base before collapsing in a sweaty heap. Utterly perfect, in its own retarded way.” DROWNEDINSOUND
