Background

Wardour Street is the first Quireboys album after the band splintered in early 2022. Frontman Spike was fired from the band, leaving Guy Griffin as lead vocalist.[1][2] In May 2022, Spike announced his reunion with former Quireboys members Guy Bailey and Nigel Mogg.[3][4]

On 9 December 2022, newly formed group released a two-track single, "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year", in support of Care After Combat, a charity for British combat veterans.[5] The album's lead single, "Jeeze Louise", was released on 31 October 2023.[6] The release of Wardour Street was originally announced for spring, coinciding with a UK tour in May 2024, with guitarist Luke Morley from Thunder performing in place of Guy Bailey, who had died in April 2023.[7] The release date was later pushed back to 13 September.[8]
