Wolf Bands

So, i'm bored. So i decided to catalogue all the 'Wolf' bands that have been scenehopping recently (yes, some are from last year), and ramble accordingly.

Wolf Parade: I started with the best. This band would probably get my nod for best LP of last year, and they're everything the words "Wolf" and "Parade" suggest they are. I doubt anyone reading this hasn't heard of them, but you can never be too careful so BACK OFF. Based in Montreal, Canada - these guys helped take indie to wonderful places for me, also producing the wonderful offshoot project, Sunset Rubdown. Anyways, if by chance you've been living under a rock that a tree fell on, here's a track to get the juices pumping.

Wolf Eyes: Ok, so it's noise rock. Like, REALLY noisy music. Very loud. I don't listen to them, but i think its worth going to see them anyway because apparrently "it will fuck your shit up". I know a few who saw them here in Adelaide recently, and i heard funny stories about them inducing vomiting, panic attacks, the whole shabang. Im SO going next time. Two links. Buy, and "Mothers against noise".

Wolves in the Throne Room: Posted purely because this is the best band name ever. I know nothing except they''re some kind of metal band, and they have such a bitching name. The imagery this name conjures up is straight forward, yet so bizzare that I find myself going on tangents of thought, to deduce just WHY those wolves want to be there. Do they want to overthrow the king? To this day it still haunts me.


Wolf & Cub: Adelaide represent! Ok, so theyre getting buzz, its awesome, etc.... But they're actually pretty good. 2 drummers, too many effect pedals, and a nice big wall of sound to contend with. While that sounds snide, it should be said that these guys are doing stuff that sets them apart to any band in Australia, and i'm very glad they're getting rewards for it.

Wolfmother:












Steppenwolf: DUH. The band responsible for "Born To Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride". Need i say more? Yes? No. Go listen to some Steppenwolf, or don't. i don't care.









AIDS Wolf: Apparrently wolves like noise. Who knew?











Guitar Wolf: originally consisted of Seiji (Guitar Wolf), Billy (Bass Wolf), and Narita (Drum Wolf). Narita quit the band to be a fortune teller. When this is the first line of a band's wikipedia article, you know they're something special. Did anyone catch this show?
