The Wolfhounds - Cheer Up - 7"

Sello: Odd Box

Edition of 300. The WOLFHOUNDS formed in the early 80s the Wolfhounds became one of Britains most persistent and consistent underground bands in the latter part of that decade. Having curtailed their activities in 1990, the band occasionally reconvened from 2005 for the occasional live show, but 2011 and 2012 have seen a renewed vigour, with more live shows and new material beginning to be written and recorded. In their first incarnation, the band recorded four albums (nothing if not prolific, their last three LPs were recorded and released within the space of one 16-month period) and many singles and EPs, as well as appearing on the legendary C86 cassette . Their music evolved quickly from its beginnings in a collision between garage punk and post-punk, to (what is now called) indie pop, through to detuned and effected guitar compositions that saw them likened to Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, as well as early forays into sampling, though they always retained an accessible pop edge to even their more wayward experimentations. This musical breadth is apparent on their new recordings Long term fans will not be disappointed by Cheer Up, a twisted but naggingly catchy return to their guitar pop roots.
