WOLF!, the beloved Brooklyn-based guitarist Scott Metzger’s “Telecaster rock trio” with bassist Jon Shaw and drummer Taylor Floreth, returns after a six year hiatus with a new five piece band called Adult Entertainment. WOLF!’s greasy instrumental rumblings weave together elements of surf, rockabilly, boogaloo and more into tasty, bite-sized musical nuggets. Tone, touch and taste are always front and center for WOLF! Since forming in 2014, tone, touch and taste have always been front and center. “Ratso” is the first single from the six track collection and is available on all streaming platforms.
Back in 2016 we had WOLF!. There were two great albums, a bunch of sold out shows, a few songs licensed to film and television and then for a laundry list of reasons, some still unclear to us as a band, our attention got pulled towards other endeavors After ducking back into the studio and putting some tracks down, life pointed us in different directions and the recordings wound up on the back burner. It became apparent that it was time for the band to play shows again as things started to open up after the pandemic.
Adult Entertainment refines WOLF!’s distinct approach heard on its first two releases with songs like “Ratso” and “Patty Cake” but expands the concept with “Hey Francis”. The four singles will be revealed over the next few weeks.
“WOLF!” has something. There is an innate chemistry when we play together. I don’t hear anyone else playing that kind of music. It’s a guitar-centered band, but it’s not about fancy chops. You get it the first time you hear it, it’s about three guys in a room making music in real time and it feels good. I think we all need that.
After a performance in Brooklyn’s Industry City this summer, WOLF! will play four shows this fall in the Northeast.
