The Ghost Wolves: “End Of It All”

By: Jack Anderson

Elden Ring‘s been out for a week, so you may think already have a certain type of spectral canines on your mind. The Ghost Wolves, however, aren’t playing any games. This Austin two-piece has more than a decade of experience under their fur, having toured across the globe and landed their original music on programs featured by Netflix, HBO, and MTV. Together, guitarist-keyboardist-vocalist Carley Wolf and drummer-singer Jonny Wolf have played more than a thousand shows in every venue imaginable, even in spooky spaces dungeons and caverns typically fit for a traditional spectral haunt. On Tuesday The Ghost Wolves shared two new singles off their upcoming third full-length Never Die, out June 3rd. It’s definitely a departure from their previous stuff defined by guitar distortion and subdued percussion. But this dark, heavy material still conjures the same gritty, blues-adjacent noise-rock spirit that makes The Ghost Wolves so great. You can hear some of the new tracks live at a free, all-ages show 9PM this Saturday at ABGB along with Veronica Peach and you can get into Never Die early with the eery, organ-driven bounce of “End Of It All”.

Honey Hideouts: “Goodbyes”

Gary Devlin: “Waves”

We’ll never deny the merits of lyrical therapy. Then again, the staying power and worldwide accessibility of meditative genres like classical and jazz has little to do with curated words. And more often than not with that universality, comes positivity. Cut to El Paso-born, Arlington-based songwriter-guitarist Gary Devlin. Sure, Gary’s got the makings of a great […]

The Tibbs: “Ain’t It Funny”

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again; the retro-soul renaissance of the last 10-15 years has been one of the most refreshing trends to break into the mainstream. And it’s been especially intriguing to hear countries outside of the U.S. tackle that classic Motown/Stax sound with their own takes on those brassy, upbeat, […]

Olivia Nowadays: “Damn This Is Real Bad”

In the era of the phonograph, when sound quality was essentially nonexistent, whatever got cut to the cylinder is whatever crackled out. Nowadays, there’s a huge divide in listener tastes when it comes to fidelity. On one side of the spectrum you’ve got audiophiles who demand nothing less than ultra-refined digital masters that make it […]
