Wolf & Cub are a psychedelic indie rock band from Adelaide, Australia. Their music is predominantly stoner rock with elements of punk and metal. An interesting aspect of the band's music and aesthetic is their use of two drummers. This allows the percussive elements of the music to feature more prominentley alongside the guitar.
They are signed to Australian record label Dot Dash and are represented by Remote Control Records. Their debut album Vessels was released in Australia on September 2, 2006. 4AD are set to release the album overseas in early 2007. Prior to their debut album, they released two EPs; Wolf and Cub and Steal Their Gold.
Wolf & Cub have graced stages with TV On The Radio, The Killers, The Music, Wolfmother, Queens of the Stone Age (handpicked by Josh Homme[1]) and Death from Above 1979. They have played blistering sets nationwide at Big Day Out 2006 and performed at the Meredith Music Festival, Homebake and headlined their own national tour.[2]
Their name derives from a comic from Japan called "Lone Wolf and Cub".
The group's popularity has increased both locally and overseas since international producers Paul Epworth and Minotaur Shock remixed Wolf and Cub tracks, Steve Lamacq bestowed Single Of The Week status on them at BBC radio.
They just finished touring in Europe & Japan with Wolfmother and did a string of single shows in Europe and LA.
