The Wonder Stuff are a British alternative rock band formed in the Birmingham / Black Country area in 1986. Originally a four-piece consisting of Miles Hunt (vocals/guitar), Malc Treece (guitar/vocals), Rob ‘The Bass Thing’ Jones (bass guitar) and Martin Gilks (drums) the band released two independent EPs on their own ‘The Far Out Recording Company’ in 1987 before signing to Polydor Records (Universal) later in the same year.
The band’s 30th anniversary was marked by the release of the ’30 Goes Around The Sun’ album in 2016 and saw another lineup change with Dan Donnelly (The Levellers) taking over on guitar and Tony Arthy (Jesus Jones) at the drum kit. The album spawned two single releases, ‘For The Broken Hearted’ and ‘Good Deeds And Highs’, both with accompanying videos by director George Taylor.
In 2016 Hunt published the first of three volumes of his ‘The Wonder Stuff Diaries’ which chronicle the experiences and inner workings of the band from 1986 to 1994, as seen from the frontman’s personal diaries.
In 2026 The Wonder Stuff will celebrate their 40th anniversary by performing extensively around the UK, Ireland and Europe. There are plans to release a double live album and even start work on the band’s 10th studio album.
