Playing with bands like that inspire us to stay true to ourselves because a lot of them were on our playlists growing up. We also had the pleasure of working with the legend that is Neil Kennedy from the Ranch who produced Boston Manor’s ‘Be Nothing’ which was a fantastic album and definitely helped sway our decision on who to have producing. We try to learn from every gig we play and they both are masters at what they do. We’ve grown up a lot, we’ve lived a lot of shit and now it’s time to talk about it.įCS: What was it like to perform alongside Boston Manor, Hawthorne Heights, etc? Do you draw inspiration from them/what did you learn? It’s almost like a loud conversation in a busy street market. I think there’s no better way to connect with the audience in front of you at shows. I need to keep it relevant to myself and where I’m at otherwise why would I want to sing it on stage for nights on end, you know? You can expect we’ll be gouging out our eyes trying to make sure we’re being honest with our lyrics and the stuff we put in your ears. We’re slightly older and wiser to the world than we were with ‘Devil’s Plans’ and writing songs is like writing in a diary to me. I know it has been for me.įCS: Do you feel like you are starting a new chapter with this highly-anticipated sophomore release? What can we expect? “Nobody’s Perfect” and I really think that everyone at some point in their life will experience that feeling of needing a breather and I like the idea that maybe listening to your favourite band with your mates is exactly the escape you need to get by.

I guess it gets into some emotions I experienced leaving the education system and being thrown into the open world and I know that nearly all of the kids my age felt that way. You can have all the money in the world and still want to get so f*cking drunk or whatever that you don’t feel a thing. The track is about losing it and not caring. How do you hope this relates to your audience? Just thank god it didn’t make it into the music video.įCS: You say that “Spite” is an anthem for being annoyed when your personal frustrations don’t seem to be shared by those around you. I have no idea why but to tell you the truth that came up A LOT. I always envisioned the Psycho Rat character doing that clicking walk he does accompanied by the walking drum beat in this track. As bizarre as it sounds, there’s a scene in Wes Anderson’s Fantastic “Mr. I kept it dark and moody so that the chorus would break through and be a bittersweet relief to the more lyrically-aggressive verses that surround it. I do recall wanting the pre-chorus to have grunge qualities as soon as I wrote the main riff for it and heard it back. If it’s catchy then it goes in and “Spite” is a perfect example of that. WC: You know, “Spite” as a whole was never set out to sound like anything in particular. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to ask the band a few questions about “Spite”, where they’ve come from, and what this exciting new chapter looks like for their music.įCS: What bands/influences inspired “Spite”? They were able to write with ROAM’s Alex Adams, wrapping up 2019 with a sophomore album in the works. This year offered Wolf Culture the opportunity to head out on their first full-length tour in the UK alongside ROAM and Milestones. Since then they have toured with the likes of Boston Manor, WSTR, Hawthorne Heights, Trophy Eyes, Like Pacific and The Dangerous Summer.

These features included the release of their singles “Wreck” and Continents”, creating a space for the band in the local alternative community.įormed in 2015 and comprised of Jay Dervan (guitar), Jake Daniels (drums), Max Dervan (guitar and vocals), and Reece Collins (bass), the band spent most of their time in the early days playing around the south of the UK. The British alternative group hailing from Bournemouth has managed to do the impossible this year- top the accomplishments of their 2018, which included the release of their debut EP ‘The Devil’s Plans for Idle Hands’, and features on Alternative Press, Punktastic, Rock Sound, and Kerrang. Last week Wolf Culture released their latest single and music video for “ Spite”, an anthemic cry against the frustration that comes with feeling isolated in struggle.
