Malice in Wonderland was founded in the late 90's, but it was not until 2003 that the band got a steady line-up. The band consists of founder/songwriter and vocalist Chris Wicked, guitarist Tracy Loveless, bass player Sid Silva and drummer Ed Kelly.
Their self-titled debut album was released in Norway on Karisma- and Dark Essence Records in 2005 and abroad the following year. The lead single "Lucifer's Town" became an internet hit and had more than 500.000 plays on Myspace. Malice In Wonderland have released several singles, amongst them City Angel, mixed by Tim Palmer (U2, Ozzy Osbourne). City Angel was listed on Finnish radio. In Finland the band have performed on PLAN Finland's TV gala for more than 1 million viewers and also fronted their biggest charity TV show, Red Nose Day.
The band labels their music as "powerful and catchy arena rock with a lot of atmosphere and attitude". They have toured in Europe and Asia, played with renowned artists like Def Leppard and appeared on several TV-shows and productions.
