The beauty of writing about music is that when you've been doing it as long as I have, even though you think you know everything, you continually discover new music, new bands, and new styles.
I had a new discovery when I first heard STARVING WOLVES.
The band comes from the USA. Although that's actually incorrect. The band comes from Texas, and every resident of the state would rather see themselves as a Texan, but be that as it may. All of Texas is rather conservatively shaped. All of Texas?
No!
One city, coincidentally the capital of this large state, is different. It is home not only to many filmmakers but also to many creative artists and bands.
STARVING WOLVES is one of those many bands from Austin, Texas.
The band was formed in 2015, and now with “The Fire, The Wolf, The Fang,” their second album is out. It is an album whose cover has already captivated me.
When I first listened and then perked up my ears because I thought the singer sounded very much like the singer of The Casualties, I realized that it actually is him.
David Rodriguez, who has been the singer for The Casualties since 2017, is also active in vocals for STARVING WOLVES.
The vocal similarity to The Casualties is therefore not coincidental.
Musically, it goes in exactly the same direction. Hardcore punk, a touch of crust, and hardcore sound, that's the music of STARVING WOLVES.
Here you get hardcore punk in your ears, and it's very solid, angry, and hits like a hard board through the speakers.
If you like THE CASUALTIES, you can grab this without hesitation.
As long as there are bands like STARVING WOLVES, punk is not dead!
