4K's - Kerrang!
9/10
"Apocalyptic in sound and content, the track fades out into sweet nothingness and after a nodding seal of approval, it’s safe to say that Wounds are almost certainly better than your band, your friends band and the majority of the other bands that you will undoubtedly claim to be a fan of"
- Hit The Floor
Track - Dead Dead Fucking Dead
"Fact: Wounds debut album is amazing. And so is this single. In fact, the only problem with the title is that they missed the word "Good" at the end" - Kerrang!
4/5
"This is the soundtrack to the most apocalyptic party known to man, played with the energy of the Stooges, the danger of the Murder Junkies and interlaced with the slick gothic swagger of the Sisters Of Mercy……. deadly, desperate and downright filthy"

Bio
Not many bands have been through as much as Wounds in the last 2 years. From the highs of rave reviews for their debut EP, to the lows of grief and a near death experience of one of their members, since 2010 the punk rockers have fitted in a life time.
2010, began with a bang for Wounds, supporting the likes of Gallows & Cancer Bats to name but a few. Shortly after Wounds’ first UK tour came the release of their lauded debut EP ‘Dead, Dead Fucking Dead’ which secured acclaimed reviews from Kerrang (4 Ks) and Rock Sound (8/10) including a tour with Crime In Stereo & Sharks. The boys seemed set to grab the music world by the balls when disaster struck. As they settled down to write their debut album, guitarist James was almost killed when he plunged from a fourth floor balcony in a freak accident.
James survived the fall and proved the doctors who said he would never pick up a guitar again wrong. With James back on his feet, the lads got back to doing what they do best. The song ‘Desperate Times’, written while Aidan was bedside his brother James during his recovery, deals with these events in detail. Wounds eventually entered the studio to record the album when the Coogan brothers lost their father to terminal illness. This untimely death knocked the band back for months and led to the song ‘Dead Road’ to be rewritten.
After heartache and dark times for all the band members they finished what they had started and completed their debut with lyrics inspired by the events that shaped the band into what they are now. The record, titled ‘Die Young’ (which also features the image of James’s stomach from his accident as the album cover) was picked up by In At The Deep End Records and is due out on January 28th, 2013.
