Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
The Wolfgang Press was an English post-punk band, active from 1983 to 1995, recording for the 4AD label. The core of the band was Michael Allen (vocals, bass), Mark Cox (keyboards), and Andrew Gray (guitar).

The group is best known for its 1992 international hit single "A Girl Like You (Born To Be Kissed)".

Style and influences
The official 4AD band profile describes them as "post-punk", transforming to "avant-dance groovers" with Queer. The band was frequently labeled "goth," though they denied the charge.

Allen's list of "important records" as of 1995 included De La Soul's 3 Feet High and Rising, Massive Attack's Blue Lines and "anything from Nick Cave and The Fall." He recalled that the record that "maybe started it all" for him was Public Image Ltd's Metal Box.
