Long Title has been disambiguated


* LongTitle: The band were fond of these early on in their career, with examples including "Woebegone Wanderers", "Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants", "Cheerio Chaps, Cheerio, Goodbye" and "We Still Got the Taste Dancin' On Our Tongues". This trope was eventually phased out by their third album as their lyrics became more straightforward, in which they were dropped in favour of [[OneWordTitle one word titles]].

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard were merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. Having facial hair is not enough to qualify. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with manliness in some way. Please read the trope description before re-adding to make sure the example qualifies.

Wild Beasts are an acclaimed English indie band currently signed to Domino Records. The group formed in [[OopNorth Kendal]] as a duo of vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Hayden Thorpe and guitarist Benny Little. Taking their name from the Fauvism art movement of the early 20th century (fauve meaning "wild beast" in French), they relocated to the far less remote city of Leeds where they were eventually joined by fellow Cumbrians Chris Talbot (drums) and Tom Fleming (bass, vocals, multi-instrumentation).

From the beginning a lot of attention was drawn towards Thorpe's peculiar vocals - which can be best summed up as an operatic falsetto prone to becoming heavily strained and throaty - that initially led to the group being dismissed as LoveItOrHateIt. However, the whimsical yet provocative nature of their songwriting, reverb-drenched guitars and tight rhythm section received favourable comparisons to Music/TheSmiths. After signing to Domino the band recorded their debut album, 2008's ''Limbo, Panto'' with Music/FranzFerdinand producer Tore Johannson, and was very much a showcase for these eccentricities.
