"Oh man. I was talking up this band at a party a week or so ago, and it occured to me just now that I was calling them Wolf-mother. Oh man, man. I hope that whoever I was talking to realizes my mistake...



Wolf PARADE is the band that I was speaking of. This album in particular, which I bought myself on a tip about a year or so ago. While the band is undoubtedly 21st century rock, with certain electro pop numbers like MODERN WORLD and the occasional goth slash emo slash men can be sensitive too vibe that floods most of the rock and roll scene these days (Offended? Text me.) there is still a very solid hard rock vibe throughout. (Like, the kind that could totally bitch-slap Nickleback and Linkin Park...)



Whats good about Wolf Parade is that they manage to create an album, where one song doesn't equal the entire bands output. There is a degree in variation between one song and the next... YET the album makes a point in keeping the album in flow. While the vocals may get on the wrong side of the razor blade from time to time, the band rocks out, and actually has a few feel good tunes, and once in a while even a sense of humor... plus most of the songs have some nice and punchy drums. Not studio produced sound effects. My fave songs are the opening track, YOU ARE A RUNNER,,, and SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF HUNGRY GHOSTS...
