Wolf & Cub

Joel Byrne has recently moved house and it's early on a Tuesday morning that we settle in for a long chat about, among other things, 'Vessels', the long-awaited debut album from Adelaide psychedelic rock band Wolf And Cub. Earlier this year guitarist/singer Byrne flew to Scotland for two weeks to mix the primary tracks with producer Tony Doogan, best known for his work with Scottish groups Mogwai, Super Furry Animals and Belle And Sebastian. The 'Vessels' LP and all the work preceding it has left the band drained and anxious for its release.

I can still vividly remember the first time I got a taste of The Hold Steady - at a Halloween party before the guests arrived, one of my friends took me to the main chamber which was lit only by candles and party lights. He was insistent that I listen to this band that I'd never heard of and cranked it up nice and loud. Swapping between the left and right speakers, I heard words being spat out in an American drawl and a slightly erratic voice, "She said always remember/never to trust me/she said that the first time that she met me/she said there's going to come a time/when I'm going to have to go with whoever's going to get me the highest". Then everything kicked in.
