Song:New Moon Rising
Album:Cosmic Egg
Those who like hard rock with psychedelic influences may want to check out Wolfmother who have been very successful in their native Australia. They are from Sydney, Australia led by lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Andrew Stockdale. Stockdale formed Wolfmother in 2004 with keyboard player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett. They signed with the Aussie label Modular Recordings and this led to a US deal with Interscope. They recorded their 2005 debut album Wolfmother in Los Angeles with veteran producer Dave Sardy. The album did especially well at home and Joker & The Thief was a top ten hit in Australia. The album sold over a million copies worldwide. Stockdale went to work on writing songs for the next album. But while they were on a 2008 tour, there were split rumors which turned out to be true. Stockdale and producer Alan Moulder brought in new musicians to record the 2009 album Cosmic Egg. The album did well in Australia but not as well elsewhere. Wolfmother became a one man band with rotating members. Usually they left because they couldn't get along with Stockdale. Stockdale even released a solo album in 2013. But he cancelled a solo tour and returned to using the Wolfmother name. Wolfmother is still active. They released the album Victorious in 2016. And they continue to tour. But they now seem to be Stockdale backed by musicians hired for touring. I guess it's his baby. Here's the video for New Moon Rising by Wolfmother.
