We Came From Wolves have never been far from my ears for about the last 3 years. Ā From the thumping jaggy sounds of theirĀ āParadise Placeā EP to their supersonic self titles debut LP and up to now with the release of their 5 track EPĀ āHaunt Meā
This band holds a special place in my musical heart, the plentiful number of gigs during 2015/2016 showed me what a hard working, determined and passionate rock band they are. Ā I loved listening to their guitars, their beats, their bass, their voices and gluing all that together was Kyle Burgessā very honest words, clearly drawn, pulled and set free from brain to voice to record. Ā If the words on Paradise Place talked of cathartic scripture, the words on their debut LP WAS the cathartic scripture and now onĀ āHaunt Meā they have given everything to create the 5 songs.
The openerĀ āFallingā creeps in and crashes into a frantic paced stormer leading into a crowd pleasing sing-a-long chorus and a lad-chant that WCFW have always been good at (most notably onĀ āAn Eagle For A Fishā andĀ āButterfliesā).. Recent singleĀ āThe Peak Beneath The Seaā nestles in perfectly at Track 2, with itās killer chorus, demon drums. Ā Title trackĀ āHaunt Meā slows the pace down a notch, to wonderful effect, itās softer yet still powerful chorus is a future audience arm waver, the kind of song youād expect to hear in a montage at the end of a movie. Ā Another recent singleĀ āPlaces Unfamiliarā storms in to itās relentless rhythmic beats, verses and empowered chorus. Ā CloserĀ āThis Never Gets Easyā begins with a lad chant before a harmonious verse and one of the passionate chorus belt-outs youāll ever hear. Ā From then on every last drop of Wolf is poured onto the listener, enough to imagine singer Kyle collapsed in a heap on the studio floor. Ā This EP is essential listening, whatever your listening for youāll hear it here. Ā We Came From Wolves career trajectory will soon be likened to that of bands such a Twin Atlantic, their upcoming tour of Euro dates will garner a whole new set of fans, and deservedly so.
