Among Wolves
REVIEWS FOR AMONG WOLVES
"...good ole Charm City has gained some props from the 'big media'. I can't really disagree, partly because we're based in Baltimore, but mainly because there's some great music coming out of here. Tons of variety....indie, folk, hardcore, club, electronic, experimental...screamo. Dan Deacon, Celebration, Animal Collective, The Death Set, Wye Oak, Double Dagger, and Among Wolves (one of our faves) just to name a few."
Rolling Stone Magazine
"...there's just been a void of musicians that make music cooped up in a basement while downing bottles of whiskey and luckily, Among Wolves fill that void with a sound that's as much The Beach Boys as it is Howlin' Wolf." Dan Kagan, Panda Toes
"Among Wolves mixes a little Beechwood Sparks, with a little Sadies and a touch of Jayhawks to get at their hybrid sunny California-jangle-pop meets midwestern americana rock."
Songs: Illinois
"Among Wolves is not what you might expect out of alt-country...
Indeed this collection of tunes is accessible, digestible, and yet firmly
to the left of anything you’d ever hope to find popping up in the
mainstream (or underground for that matter). Devilishly clever, you wonder
if they were at that famous crossroads along with Robert Johnson making
a deal too."
Smother
"But the band is at its best when at its most original, and coincidentally, most country. Tunes like “Hard to Die” and “Seems to Me” are driven by free-and-easy backbeats and textured instrumentals from the lap steel and banjo. And even though the coarse flashiness of Haywood’s delivery and the droning, stoner-rock guitars of “Black Eyed Susan” recall Yo La Tengo, the song explodes nicely into three shout-n-clap-along choruses."
Robbie Whelan, Baltimore Urbanite
"Who can blend experimental indie pop rock with synthesizers seamlessly
with straight up country rock? Among Wolves... They put on a show that
is worth every cent."
Pasta Primavera
"Among Wolves’ self-titled album is an impressive blend of
the experimental and the accessible... Highly recommended."
Independent Clauses
"Among Wolves provides the perfect Grizzly Beach Boy/House harmonies
to start and end your days."
Butter Team
"We start with an ethereal soothing sound, then some well-timed hand claps traveling into a country twang that made me grimace."
Score Magazine
"Philly guys who seem like they play truly cos’ they love it. The kind guys who probably don’t care if they ever get signed to a big label and practice 4 times a week for 8 hours at a clip. I hear bits of My Morning Jacket and Neil Young. I really liked Jason Butcher’s “Hard to Die.”
Dagger Zine
"The musicians could be from next door, or from 2000 miles away in California, or 2000 miles in the other direction in Massachussetts. Universal American dance music. The shout-out tune, When We’re Dead” slows down the dance and features more flavors as we hear “the tree are on fire” and visit small town America and hear the “church bells ringing from the steeple in your town.”
