Describe your genre in five words or less:
Raw, honest, intense, primal, Bris-punk.
Someone is walking past as you guys are playing, they then go get a beer and tell their friend about you… what do they say?
“Hey guys you won’t believe what I just saw! That band inside were climbing the walls with their teeth and the singer was covered in blood while running around with the bass player on his shoulders. You’ve gotta come and see this before the ambulance arrives.”
Which band would you most like to have a battle/showdown with?
That’s a hard one because we have played shows with a lot of awesome bands which have made us work harder and become more entertaining but if we had to choose it would probably have to be our hometown (Brisbane) hero’s Six Ft Hick. I remember being at the front of a Hick show down on my knees looking up at Ben and Geoff and just thinking, “Good God that’s powerful”. And with Dan and Tony’s amps blastin’ away and the thunder of Fred’s drums you better believe my ears where ringing in the morning. So yeah we hope a Wolves/Hick show happens one day soon.
Best gig you have ever played:
Without a doubt our favourite shows have been apart of house parties because they have that real DIY, Black Flag, anything can happen vibe but the one that we’re probably most proud of was our CD/DVD album launch in February, mainly because we had 200+ of our best friends there, we organised everything and it was a huge success.
What inspires/influenced your music the most?
All the music is pretty much created from the spark that we ignited every time we rehearse at Worx Studio. Then I take the tune and ask myself the same question every time: “What do I wanna say with this one?” and then the process of refining the idea and making it about real things that matter, if only to me, begins.
What music have you released to date and where can people get them?
In our first year we recorded two EPs. They were really just to have something to put out there, get us a gig and figure out our songwriting. But then we released our first LP in February, which we have a CD/DVD version with 10 videos. They are all available on deadwolvesmusic.bandcamp.com with the EPs as free downloads.
DEAD WOLVES play Watt’s On Presents at Prince of Wales on Friday June 27.
