They're Coming Back Around!


First Album
Today I would like to talk about a band that is over looked a lot; Wolfmother, is a band from Australia and has made it their reputation to sound like a classic rock band but at the same time sound like their own style of music. In 2005 they came out with their first album, which was titled "Wolfmother". That album was just a bunch of hits. To name a few: Dimension, Joker and the Thief, White Unicorn, and one that everyone must know, Woman. After that album was released they really blew up, in fame and as a band. The song "Woman" was hitting the charts. It even got an appearance in Guitar Hero! In the years 2006-2008 they went on world tours and became very well known throughout the world. Unfortunately between the years 2008-2009 the band went On hiatus and split up. Many people were upset that a band with such talent and such original sound could go by the wayside. 
Second Album
But luckily for the world, Andrew Stokdale (lead guitarist and vocalist), decided to reform the band with new members and in 2009 they began recording a new album. What worries most people about bands that reform with new members, is the idea that they may not have the same sound that we all grew to love. Wolfmother wouldn't have that issue, reason being the original sound came from the guitar work of Andrew Stockdale. So reforming the band was easy; In late 2009 Wolfmother came out with their second album, Cosmic Egg. With all the hype of what was to come with this new album, Wolfmother was put on the spot. Let me say, they did not disappoint what so ever. That album has such hits like: Back Around, California Queen, Cosmic Egg, and New Moon Rising.  Even as I listen to it over and over it never gets old. Not only did they recover from what a lot of people say is impossible feat,(that being keeping the original sound with new members) but they came out with a very successful album. I'm excited to hear something new in the near future from these guys.
LISTEN TO THESE GUYS! They do not disappoint!
Till tomorrow folks this is Mikey B. Keep Music Alive!
