Wolfmother
Wolfmother
Interscope Records [2006]
Long live stoner rock! Ask anyone who saw Led Zeppelin in their prime, and they’ll likely tell you it was one of the greatest live experiences of their life. Wolfmother embraces that 1970s rock spirit fully. With thunderous guitars, soaring vocals, and pounding drums, Wolfmother is a total throwback to a time when rock music was loud, heavy, and full of swagger.
You’ll hear echoes of classic bands like Yes, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple—especially in the swirling organ and vintage riffing. While not every track hits the mark (like the overly White Stripes-esque “Apple Tree”), most of the record stays locked into its hash-drenched, leather-jacketed groove. These Australian rockers don’t try to reinvent the wheel—they just keep it turning with energy and conviction. If you’re nostalgic for the days of shag carpets and stacks of vinyl, this one’s for you.
