Wolf Alice pick up the 2018 Mercury Award for Visions Of A Life album
Wolf Alice beat other frontrunners Lily Allen and Arctic Monkeys to win this year's coveted Mercury Prize.
Wolf Alice were awarded this year's Mercury Music Prize for their Visions Of A Life album, which we gave an 8.5/10, and described it as "a collection of three-minute costumes for the listener to try on, and a report of living such a life: in constant flux, trialling personas until something sticks."
