Southsea's The Wild Claims grow from duo to trio as they hit The Edge of The Wedge
Since their last outing at Icebreaker Festival 2019 in January, the two-piece garage rockers have expanded their sound and their number with the addition of former Foxer bassist Sam Cutbush.
There is history here, as Sam and frontman Ben Longley were bandmates in Portsmouth indie group Porcelain Coins a decade ago.

Musically, The Wild Claims have built a reputation as an incredibly high-energy outfit, and Ben’s passionate delivery of lyrics around politics, human rights and environmental topics give the band an added edge.
This edge will be proudly on display at the Edge. Entry is £4 and support comes from The Deckards, Hot Juice and Igloo.
