Following several phenomenal shows at this years SXSW, an incredible tour with the Naked And Famous and two packed shows at Camden Crawl and Great Escape, Wolf Gang has hit the road for a full UK tour in support of the eagerly-anticipated debut album 'Suego Faults' set for release on 11 July. Wolf Gang's recent single 'Dancing with the Devil' has had over 55,000 downloads after being picked as iTunes 'Single of the Week' last week. The third single from the anticipated debut album will be 'The King And All of His Men' released just before the album on 4 July. Wolf Gang's SXSW debut was the talk of Austin and included packed shows at the NME Official Showcase, a show at the prestigious Fader Fort and finished off with a show at the Neon Gold/Chess Club party. Already creating a stir among music press in the UK and now in the US, Wolf Gang are well on the road to success - already being hyped by some of the best around including Spin, Fader and Pitchfork whilst in the UK he's had high-accolades from the Guardian, the Times and NME. The debut album was recorded with producer Dave Fridmann (MGMT, Mercury Rev, Flaming Lips) and showcases just what everyone is anticipating - a ferocious pop record with an abundance of suave panache, punchy beats and heart-throttling melodies. This album is one of Fridmann's rare collaborations with a UK artist, having heard a demo of 'Lions in Cages' he immediately invited Max out to record the track in Upstate New York and the rest as they say, is history.

Great from listen #1
I had heard "The King and All of his Men" on AltNation when I hijacked my dad's car for joyriding, etc. He prefers The Message and my brother will harass me if I choose a station besides "Lithium" but my New Years resolution was to stop listening to all my Coldplay CDs on repeat and expand my musical horizons.Wolf Gang is an incredibly stupid band name, but due to the enjoyment I received from listening to "The King and All of his Men" on AltNation, and later 103.7 (which is SO CLOSE to being a good radio station...)...I did something rather uncharacteristic and bought this entire CD without listening to all the tracks beforehand.I only rarely like a CD on first listen, and I hope it will hold up to the many, many listens I am planning to give it in the next couple of days.The singer's voice is distinctive without being grating. I have only listened to it once but the songs have great hooks and the songs are distinct from one another, which is a great quality in a band's music. Of course the whole CD sounds like it came from the same, great, band.One more thing, every CD should have a bang out, awesome, atmospheric closer. Think something really affecting, like Only in Dreams (Weezer), or Evaporated (Ben Folds Five)...something that brings everything to an end and leaves you filled to the brim with mood. Planets is the last track of this CD, and when it started over 3 minutes ago, I had a good feeling about how it would end. Awesomely, that is.My favorite CD of the week.My only sadness is that they are a UK band which makes their US touring likely sporadic. Houston loves you Wolf Gang!

Pleasant Surprise
This is my first introduction to this artist. Have I been under a rock?! I already put this song on my next spinning playlist and I even shared it with my husband. He is super picky and only knows contempory music through me. He loved it too! Now Wolf Gang has two new fans. :-)

wolfgang
couple years ago watched Coldplay in Concert in Big D. Wolf Gang was Warm-up band. I knew the second I heard them that I liked the Sound. This music is some good Stuff. Like all the Songs on the Album (not an album one has to skip around on). Hit the play button and enjoy!!

Some of the most original music in years
The tracks on this album have a pleasantly pop vibe without being annoying or in your face. Not only that the music is amazingly original. I don't have a bad thing to say about this album. It is one of my favorite albums ever recorded.

Brings back memories of the gig at the O2 recently. If anything they were better live, but hey, you can't have them in your home

Disappointing
I heard a track from this on XFM and thought the CD would be worth listening to, but it isn't.

give it a listen
Fantastic. I love every song on the cd. A bit of rock/classic & indie on the side. We've danced to it, bbq to it & I've just listened to it whilst ironing. Will put you in a good mood. xxx

A Mix Between ELO and the Scissor Sisters But Fails To Get Going
I am sorry these guys are not one of the best new bands around. This album fails to take off some of the tracks are mediocre at best. There are strong similarities between ELO and the Sisscor Sisters here.I am afraid it only gets 2 stars from me. Yes the single is a good song but the rest just fails to take off a big shame really after I heard people raving about this band I don't see why to be honest it is quite dull in parts too.Music should be uplifting and inspiring unfortunately does neither for me.

Gut gemacht!
Ich bin über einen Song der Band auf das Album aufmerksam geworden und finde es wirklich gut. Von poppigen Liebeskummerbaladen bis zum härteren Nummern ist alles dabei und viel Songs haben Ohrwurmcharakter. So manche Song ist eher experimenteller als charttauglich, trotzdem höre ich die Songs immer noch gerne. Besonders gut gefällt mir das Thema in 'The king and all of his men', auch wenn der Text nicht so einfach verständlich ist. Bleibt zu erwarten, wie sich die Band entwickelt...
