The Desert Wolves were a 5 piece pop group from Manchester set up during the mid 80's In Manchester.

In 1987 they released two singles on the Ugly Man Record imprint, which received much critical acclaim at the time but commercially did not make much impression outside of their native Manchester.

The Line up at that time was - Martin King (lead singer), David Platten (Lead Guitar) Nick Platten (Rhythm Guitar) RIchard Jones (Bass) and Craig Winterburn (Drums)

The songs were a rich homage to the beat music of the 60's and as such found fame with the advent of the internet in far flung corners of the world. in 2000 a compilation of their complete catalogue was relaesed by Berlin based independent Firestation Records, which sold all over the world.

The nucleus of the band are still creating music in the form of Vermont Sugar House again in conjunction with Firestation Records and togteher they released Carlton Gardens in Summer 2008.
