Super Who?!

Ketch Harbour Wolves are a wonderful band. From the great sweeping vocals chanting  “My words, my words don’t fail me now, I need this communication. My words, my words come through me now, I’m channelling this thing somehow, somehow.”  to the gentleness in the lines “Hallelujah, we’re out of our minds. We’re animals, we’re animals.” . Then of course there are the awesome melodies that add to the already passion filled lyrics. There is a great uplifting feeling, though the lyrics hold a kind of melancholia- credit to the terrific build ups that make you want to put your arms up high and sway like a crazy person.

You can absolutely sense the influence the band took from their time by the sea in Nova Scotia; a coastal province of Canada-Wikipedia informs me nowhere in Nova Scotia is more than 67 km (40 mi) from the ocean.
On a side note, the band apparently also have “certain preoccupations with storms, leaves, words.. and plagiarism”.

The 2008 release Dead Calm Horizon was given away FREE!  which is a bit mental, but also brave since it’s a absolute whopper of a mini album containing 7 songs- all are with no doubt killer,not the other one(..filler).
The new album is underway, and with front man Jonathan’s talk of  going to ”rent some gear, go into the woods and see what happens.” it seems like exciting things may be coming.

Hopefully they might have plans to join us in the UK soon. Yeahhh.
As always though, a trusty video to quench that thirst for live music. Enjoy!
