Rescued By Wolves outshine all others with their shimmering, viscera-fuelled anthemics. Aptly named, their sound is a hypnotic shoe-gazey haze carried along in the teeth of something quite fierce. With Chief Bromden from ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest’ on bass, their performance is a successful balancing act between hard grunge vigour and post-punk restraint. With a growl akin to Vex Red matched with …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead’s ear for stoner-rock melodies, Rescued By Wolves are howling at the moon with their eyes on the prize. After Amusement Parks On Fire sweeping the airwaves with Swimming soon to follow, I daresay that after a bit more time at the drawing board Rescued By Wolves will stand tall amongst the pack of Nottingham’s alt-finest. - Leftlion.co.uk
"An awesomely fresh guitar band from Notts. Their music is a deranged mix of pop's hooks and noise rock's instability played as loud as possible." - Maze
"Rescued By Wolves is not just a group of young people full of good influences but devoid of any ideas.
Post-Punk after a after a short detour to the American scene of the 80's and 90's, Specially aggressive" - Danslemurduson.com
"Rescued By Wolves are a gutsier and
heavier creation born out of another
Nottingham band Apparatus of
Sleep.
After putting their name around the
city through the live rock circuit, they have bought out four
track EP Observe, Dilute, Replicate to showcase what they
describe as ‘melodic, raw and chaotic music’. Influenced by
the likes of Sonic Youth and Jesus and Mary Chain, but with
the rawness of And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, they
encapsulate the post-punk sound in energetic form.
The vocals are honest and calming which is the perfect match
to the frenzy of noise rock melodies. The four tracks are We’ve
Been Sold, Pretending to be Ghosts, Mirror Mirror and Heal or
Hurt. Together they show the different moods and tones in the
band. If you can’t sense for yourself their hardcore passion in
the songs, then just look at the title on the EP cover is written
in vocalist Loz Stone’s own blood." - Kristi Genovese (Leftlion Magazine)
I recently came into possession of an EP
recorded by a new outfit from Nottingham
named Rescued by Wolves. If you haven’t
already heard of this band, you will be
hearing a lot more from them in the very near
future. This CD (entitled observe, dilute,
replicate) is a perfect demonstration that the
underground of British rock music is alive and
well. As opposed to incorporating electronic
elements, synthesisers and pitch corrected
vocals, Rescued by Wolves have created a
truly great EP, sticking to the fundamentals of
what a great rock recording should contain.
The band spawned out of another Nottingham
act “Apparatus of sleep”. In comparison to its
predecessor, this group have definitely taken
a gigantic step towards achieving a very
unique, gratified and intriguing sound.
It’s difficult to define this EP into one particular genre, influences of post
hardcore, punk, metal, rock and pop are all noticeable. Although the music is
driven by the duel guitars, the bass and drums keep this record going like
clockwork, its extremely tight, and producer Johnny Carter has done an
excellent job of capturing the energy of this band. Lyrically, Loz has written from
an empathetic standpoint giving each song an honest and genuine meaning,
the four tracks on this recording are all very reputable and beautifully insightful,
all having their own identity – no track fillers here. Observe, dilute, replicate
certainly deserves 12 minutes of your time; it’s raw, authentic and has an
aroma of distinctiveness about it but at the same time sounds appropriately
familiar. Who ever claimed that guitar orientated music was on its way out is full
of shit, this band have the capability to move forward with their heads held high
and really make a name for themselves. When you get the opportunity, make
sure you give this one a listen; oh, and I forgot to mention, you can download it
for free from their MySpace page. -Luke (onlyfoolsandnoises magazine)
"The second best live band in West Bridgford!" - Laurence Stone
