Tiger Bear Wolf from Greensboro, North Carolina, bring a contagious, manic energy with the progressive proto-punk / math-tinged hard rock track “Wolf.” “Wolf” is a hard beast to contain and put in a genre box. It definitely ticks the proto-punk boxes. We have the chaotic, manic energy that almost collapses into instrumental freakouts reminiscent of The Who or The Stooges. Then you are chicaned into the colossal struts and precision of Led Zeppelin. The choruses soar into cigarette-lighter arcs that any prog rock band in the 1970s would have killed for… and then there is a splash of math rock that feels very Angine de Poitrine. Ordinarily, you may feel that this sounds a little inaccessible, but Tiger Bear Wolf agilely and compellingly dances the serpentine mess into something tightly wound, manageable, and magnetic. https://hvdommelen.nl/ru/TigerBW.html
