MODERNITY KILLED EVERY NIGHT


I just received my signed promo copy of the Wolfmen's current album release. I have been assured by my mate Chris - one half of the WOLFMEN writing duo pirroni/constantinou that it has to be their signatures cause no-one else writes that badly! Of coursed signed or not, this record has the indomitable signature of Marco's insistent and edgy guitar riffs and Chris's 'warped' vision of bohemian life. It has both the snarl of punk and pop excess of glam a la T. Rex, but in a way that comes across as a current expression and not as retro homage. I doubt there will be many records this year that will possess the energy of this one - and don't let anyone tell you that these old dogs can't teach some young pups a thing or two about rock n' roll.
