Having first heard of this band by chance when they performed in my local HMV earlier this year, I was both intrigued and delighted to hear further material from Wolfred.
A band worthy of notice, and further exploration, the first thing that hits you about ‘Sleep’ is the haunting and distinctive vocals of Wilf. It’s backed with a bed of expert musicians, their craft well-polished and produced, and a powerful wall of sound that evokes the feeling of a theatre stage.
As the track is just three and a half minutes long, you’ll need to have this on repeat to truly appreciate the subtle nuance and changes in each chord, and to soak in the flavour and see just how much this alternative band from Newcastle can provide.
A band that provides something fresh and unique is a rare quality these days, and this band has certainly captured something worthy of fresh eyes and ears.
With the single released recently, the band played two shows in Alphabetti Theatre in their hometown to celebrate – and you’d be advised to keep an eye out for future live appearances as this group is one to watch.
You can listen to ‘Sleep’ now on all major streaming platforms.
