<p>WU LYF (World Unite Lucifer Youth Foundation) was an indie rock band from Manchester, known for their unique blend of heavy pop. Formed in 2008, the band consisted of lead singer Ellery Roberts, Tom McClung, Evans Kati and Joe Manning. They released singles and their album "Go Tell Fire To The Mountain". In their lyrics, Roberts expressed his disdain for capitalist society and war, while celebrating nature and freedom. In 2012, Roberts left the band with a statement on YouTube, marking the end of WU LYF. He later pursued solo projects including Lost Under Heaven (LUH).</p>

10th Anniversary Reissue.<i> Go Tell Fire to the Mountain</i> is the dark edged euphoric debut album from Wu Lyf - a mysterious manc cult, full of quasi-spiritual fervour and revolutionary intent. world unite / lucifer youth foundation portray a naked, primordial joy free of pretensions and translucent messages that few others manage. The four-piece are driven by tribal drums that have mutated from krautrock roots, exploding and falling out of rhythm in a perfect compliment to the messy majesty of the rest of the band. 'Such a Sad Puppy Dog' is a new sound that we're going to term krautrock gospel, with the singer's extraordinary larynx-shredding vocals - think bastard child of Tom Waits - adding to the delirium.
