The Peel Session Gold Cup

The Wolfhounds - from the drunken lurch of a singer too caring to stand straight to the last gangly head bent in concentration over a battled embittered guitar - were the band of the night.

The Wolfhounds, fuelled by exhilaration, disgust, necessity and anger, tore apart the gaping chasm in front of them and filled it with a heady anti-rock brew at frustration of their own concoction. Jarring, battering melodies tossed asunder on the storm of bantering vocals. In all the nights that followed The Wolfhounds were only bettered by an AWESOME Age Of Chance. The hacks disagree, the kids understand (two encores and hungry for more)...who am I to argue?

Dave Quantick, The Legend!, Danny Kelly, David Swift and Adrian Thrills - NME.
