Never let it be said that Australian heavy-rock trio Wolfmother don’t keep fans on their toes.
Never let it be said that Australian heavy-rock trio Wolfmother don’t keep fans on their toes. After two albums of blazing 70s-style proto-metal featuring two completely different lineups backing frontman Andrew Stockdale, Wolfmother supposedly dissolved in early 2013, with the planned third Wolfmother album showing up as a Stockdale solo album in April of that year. By July, though, the band was inexplicably back together–an even stranger turn of events in light of Stockdale’s solo album featuring everyone from the final Wolfmother lineup. And for a band that hasn’t been all that prolific, it was even more surprising to see the sudden appearance of Wolfmother’s third album, New Crown, last month–on Bandcamp. Who knows what motivated the sudden release, or why the band is no longer backed by their former label, Modular/Universal, but the important part is that Wolfmother is still more than capable of producing memorable psychedelic proto-metal epics. See for yourself by streaming the whole thing below:
