lets talk about wolves

so lets talk about some Wolves. lets start with...Wolf Eyes...

Wolf Eyes is a noise rock band in an almost perfect sense. I remember reading something about them at one time that said the kind of music they make is music that makes you want to die. i'd say that's probably the best statement one can make about them. They make screechy almost incrprehensoilble music. it's not sappily sad like emo music, it's not really depressing like Elliott Smith can be, it's just death. This being said Wolf Eyes is definatly not a band for most people. I know quite a few people who are either disgusted or who just don't get what they do, and i must admit, there are times when i don't understand either. but at the same time, you have to understand that it's really well made.

Patrick Wolf:
Patrick is a british solo independent music maker. He makes music that can really only be defined as Goth. His music is dark and mysterious. He is a Viola player who combines classic training with Manchester dance beats. In a way he is a very typical British goth/electronic artist, yet at the same time there is something very different about him. On his first CD the electronic sounds he made came from Games on an original Nintendo. On his second cd he uses more traditional methods. He is a very interesting artist and i can almost guarentee that there will be at least one song that he performs that everyone can enjoy.

Album to Buy: Wind in the Wires

Wolfmother:
Wolfmother is of the strain of the new classic rock revivals bands that i tend to dislike so i'm not going to talk about them that much. I really think that they are not doing anything unique or new to be added to the mix. If you want to look into them go ahead.

Wolf Parade:
Wolf parade create spastic twitchy music that snares you in it's nets and never lets go. I had an accquientence who considered himself to be the ultimate indie/hipster snob who once said of Wolf Parade, they're weird, i don't know if i like them or not, but Sub Pop said go and buy their cd so i will. Wolf Parade is the band that is critically aclaimed as being gods. This same friend had tried to convince me a year earlier that Modest Mouse was a terrible band who had nothing to do with influencing anybody in the alternative scene and were just a terrible band in general. Wolf parade is greatly influence by Modest Mouse and i know a lot of people say that, but in general if you don't like Modest Mouse You Will not like Wolf Parade. It's True. Wolf Parade make that kind of music but they add their own thing to it. That thing that they add is better songwriters and Spencer Krug who is a god amoung men. He is just awsome in everyway. as you can probably tell Wolf Parade is one of my favorite bands so of course i will talk about them with more delight that most. At the same time i think that everyone should check them out at some point.
