Wrathchild (sometimes known as Wrathchild UK in the United States due to a naming conflict with Wrathchild America) are an English glam metal band. Formed in 1980, the group was an early exponent of the glam metal genre, founded at about the same time as US bands of the genre such as Mötley Crüe.
In their home country, the band's speciality was in its D.I.Y. aesthetic (common for many NWOBHM bands), over-the-top stage shows and striking imagery. During their early days, they would often play in pubs but still use confetti and pyrotechnics, whilst dressed in full glam metal gear, including their trademark platform boots and huge, teased hair.
The band has gone through several line-up changes over the years, with line-up number two - consisting of Rocky Shades, Lance Rocket, Marc Angel and Eddie Starr - considered the 'classic' line-up of the band. Up until 2023, bass player Marc Angel was the only member to consistently feature in every line-up of the band. From 2023 onwards, the band's line-up featured original vocalist Rocky Shades alongside four new bandmembers.
