For Immediate Release:
TEXA$ PLATINUM, THE NEW ALBUM BY THE GHOST WOLVES IS SLATED FOR AN APRIL 21 RELEASE DATE ON HOUND GAWD RECORDS The Austin band features the raucous guitar and drum duo
Classic Rock Magazine calls "rock n' roll turned feral."
March 23, 2017 (Austin, TX) – Hound Gawd Records is proud to announce the release of TEXA$ PLATINUM, the new studio album by Austin's favorite guitar and drum duo, The Ghost Wolves. "A fistful of dark, rustic magic," Classic Rock Magazine enthuses, "a furious bellow of maximum swamp boogie with blood in its teeth and lust in its heart."
With song titles like "Whettin My Knife," it is not hard to imagine what this new album may be about. The band is Carley Wolf on guitar and vocals and Jonny Wolf on drums, synthesizer and vocals. They formed in Austin, Texas in 2010.
Some of their influences include artists like Hasil Adkins, Joan Jett, R.L. Burnside, The Ramones, The Kills, Ronnie Dawson, Death Grips, Jessie Mae Hemphill. The Joan Jett connection goes further as it was the legendary punk guitar player Cheetah Chrome (of Dead Boys fame) that signed them to their last record deal. His own backing band featured members of the Black Hearts.
It’s no surprise that Carley Wolf's guitar playing gets attention. She has been featured in Premiere Guitar, SheShreds, Guitar Girl Magazine and has performed live on NPR stations like WBEZ in Chicago. "The pair tour relentlessly, showing a joy in the turn-it-up that evokes the visceral virtues of rock at its most raw and elemental." wrote music critic (and Patti Smith Group guitar player) Lenny Kaye for emusic.com.
Several tracks from their previous record got prominent TV and film placements including on the hit TV series Shameless; several programs on the Oxygen channel (Bad Girl’s Club, Funny Girls, Best Ink); an over-the-top trailer for Japanese martial arts film called, Why Don't You Play in Hell? Not to mention MTV's Real World: Explosion and for Perry Ellis at Fashion week in New York.
TEXA$ PLATINUM was produced by Mike McCarthy at his private studio in Austin at the end of 2016. McCarthy has produced albums for artists like And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead…, Spoon, OBN III’s. The record was mastered by Howie Weinberg at his Los Angeles facility. Weinberg also mastered Nirvana's Nevermind album, as well as records for the Beastie Boys, The Clash, White Stripes, U2 and many others.
Film screening of Mr. Roosevelt featuring Carley Wolf in the speaking role of Samantha. The movie is written and directed by Noël Wells who plays Rachel on Master of None (Aziz Ansari) and is a Saturday Night Live cast member.
