Biography

Malice in Wonderland was founded in the late 1990s, but it was not until 2003 that the band got a steady line-up. The band consists of the founder and vocalist Chris Wicked, Tracy on guitar, Sid on bass and Ed Kelly on drums.

Their self-titled debut album was released on Karisma- and Dark Essence Records in 2005 and their follow-up album, "The Royal Brigade", is scheduled to be released in 2011. In November 2009 they released a single called City Angel, mixed by Tim Palmer (U2, Ozzy Osbourne, Pearl Jam, HIM)

Their music is described as catchy rock 'n roll with strong melodies. The band takes inspiration from the L.A. rock scene of the 1980s amongst others. They have toured in Norway, Germany, Finland, Italy and China, and played with renowned artists like Def Leppard and have appeared on TV-shows and productions.
