An English Post-punk/Neo-Psychedelic band formed in Liverpool in 1978 by Julian Cope. The Teardrop Explodes took their name from a panel in the Marvel comic book, Daredevil No. 77.
With their unique blend of post-punk and neo-psychedelic sounds, The Teardrop Explodes quickly made a name for themselves in the music scene. Led by the talented Julian Cope, the band captivated audiences with their energetic performances and thought-provoking lyrics.
Formed during the vibrant punk era, The Teardrop Explodes stood out with their experimental approach to music. Their distinctive sound drew influences from various genres, creating a sonic experience that was both captivating and innovative.

Wilder is the second album by Liverpool band The Teardrop Explodes, and the final completed album released by the group. Despite the flux they were going through, the Teardrops somehow got it together to record the heavily-hyped Wilder, which unlike its predecessor did nothing in terms of sales or smash singles, outside of the semi-successful shimmering keyboard/crunch of Passionate Friend. This isn't for lack of talent on the band's part, and the trademark kicky arrangements and horns appear throughout. However, unlike the joyous outpourings of Kilimanjaro, Wilder sounds distanced. pleasure, though, Wilder offers up some good stuff, with more cryptic compositions and performances throughout, while Clive Langer takes over full production after only doing a few on the first album.
