Pete Wylie, born in Liverpool in 1958, has spent his career as a firebrand guitarist and singer-songwriter who never met a band name he couldn't improve on. He is best known as the leader of Wah!, a band that also answered to Wah! Heat, Shambeko! Say Wah!, JF Wah!, The Mighty Wah! and Wah! The Mongrel, depending on the year. He also passed through the Crucial Three and the Spitfire Boys.
In 1987 he stepped out under his own name with Sinful, and its title track is a big, swaggering new wave anthem, all soaring melody and Wylie's grand, heart-on-sleeve delivery, the kind of song that sounds like it was written to be bellowed across a crowded bar.
