Now comes the "but," which I will whimsically replace with "however": However.
The singer sounds so much like that of a very specific grunge band most of the time that Audiowolf has probably even noted this in their information sheet. Including certain mannerisms, the habit of stretching certain English words into some weird screams... And to be honest, that obvious role model has a very distinct style, which is cool, but one never needs another copy of it in the world (also because it can be exhausting at times). You may have noticed that I’m not saying who this reminds me of, because either the listener notices it immediately, or they don’t, and then it might not bother them further.
When I look at the CD packaging, the video, the fat production, the promotional text, in short: the whole packaging, I get the feeling that the band from small Oldenburg has tried to put on somewhat too big rockstar boots. Everything is professionally done, but maybe that’s why it smells about as little of smoke, sweat, and sex as the Ramones and Motörhead shirts did back at H&M.
I believe that if Audiowolf uses their obvious talent, dares to play their own style instead of just rehashing what already exists, then they could become an interesting band. Until then, I prefer the classics.
