Reviews
Transience (2019)
Ramshackle but enjoyable new album from punk hero Wreckless Eric who refuses to become a pensioner
amERICa (2016)
Excellent new album from 70's cult star Wreckless Eric, which combines punk pop with Americana
Bungalow Hi (2004)
Welcome return for the inimitable Wreckless Eric, back six years after his last album and proving that "his prowess for a memorable pop hook as well as his barbed sense of humour certainly haven’t deserted him"
