Wolfmother Biography
Truly a band out of time, Australian power trio
Wolfmother were conceived in 2000 -- about 30 years too late, considering that their psychedelic brand of proto-heavy metal sounds like a ringer for late-'60s/early-'70s bands such as
Blue Cheer and
Black Sabbath. Comprised of vocalist/guitarist
Andrew Stockdale, bassist/organist
Chris Ross, and drummer
Myles Heskett,
Wolfmother took the initiative of recording a four-track demo in 2004 for the purpose of getting booked for shows. But so sterling were the results that they soon found themselves re-recording it for official release via local Modular Records. A second EP,
Dimensions, appeared in 2006, and
Wolfmother made the jump to the majors in early 2006 courtesy of an American distribution deal for Modular through Interscope. Their self-titled album debut appeared in May and reached the Top 40. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide
