NMM #139: Wolfmother
ON THE COVER: WOLFMOTHER
This hell-bent power trio from Down Under turns classic rock irony upside-down.
DANIELSON
Daniel Smith goes sailing with his Famile. In case of emergency, their Good Books can be used as a floatation devices.
SPANK ROCK
Too bad the album title Songs About Fucking was already taken or these Baltimore booty hounds woulda been all over it.
THE FEVER
While some Brooklyn bands focused on building buzz, those crazy guys in the Fever were actually building a career.
BLACK HEART PROCESSION
Anyone want to mess with a band whose lead singer wields a freakin’ saw onstage? Didn’t think so.
JUANA MOLINA
The sultry Argentine songstress puts a little “meow” in her mix.
MURDER BY DEATH
And you will know them by the trail of haunting chamber-rock albums.
ON THE VERGE
So new, they’re not even jaded: Feathers, Wolves In The Throne Room, Wilderness, Imaad Wasif and Maps & Atlases.
QUICK FIX
Bubba Sparxxx confirms what all the X’s are for, Eugene Mirman is un-Bear-able, Tom Verlaine is turned on and the Subways smell
much better than the ones we have here.
