Formed in Oslo, Norway in 2010,\u00a0WOLVES LIKE US<\/b>\u00a0emerged out of the ashes of local punk \/ hardcore pioneers\u00a0JR EWING, AMULET<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0INFIDELS FOREVER<\/b>, among others. The new band quickly made themselves a name as a super-energetic live band in the local scene, blending equal parts Quicksand and Afghan Wings with their own idiosyncratic post-hardcore sound. After only 5 shows, they instantly signed with Prosthetic Records for a 3 album deal, and hit the road for tours and shows with\u00a0KVELERTAK,<\/b>PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS, SWING KIDS, JUNIUS<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0GALLOWS<\/b>\u00a0and festivals like Oya or Groezrock in the months to come. 3 releases saw the light of day under the roof of Prosthetic Records since,Late\u00a0<\/i>Love<\/i>\u00a0(2011),\u00a0Get Gone<\/i>\u00a0(2012) and\u00a0Black Soul\u00a0<\/i>Choir\u00a0<\/i>(2014).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
After almost 5 years of family responsibility- induced hiatus, the 4-piece is now back with a killer new album:\u00a0Brittle Bones<\/i>, demoed by Bjarte from\u00a0KVELERTAK<\/b>\u00a0and mixed by Scott Evans of\u00a0KOWLOON WALLED CITY<\/b>, shows a grown up and more dynamic wolf pack than ever before.\u00a0\u201eThere was less tension this time, we almost didn\u2019t argue at all – which is rare for us\u201c, says drummer Jonas Thire. \u201eA lot has happened to us at a personal level. Positives, like we all have kids now. But dark shit too. There\u2019s been a divorce. Lars has been really sick. He wrote the lyrics as a kind of diary to deal with issues like abuse, literally and figuratively.\u201c<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The band has been good friends with iconic post-hardcore band\u00a0PLANES MISTAKEN FOR STARS<\/b>\u00a0for years, whose singer Gared O’Donnell visited them in Oslo randomly that week when\u00a0WOLVES LIKE US<\/b>\u00a0were tracking vocals for\u00a0Brittle Bones<\/i>. He ended up laying down his second guest appearance for the band:\u00a0\u201eOn a drunken night in May after Lars, Toy and Rune (the engineer) had taken him out for one too many beers\u201c, comments vocalist & guitarist Lars Kristensen… \u201ewe ended up shirtless doing<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
vocals\u201c.<\/i><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Lyrically, the red thread that goes through Brittle Bones is the topic of \u00abhonesty\u00bb, which is to say\u00a0\u201edealing with demons in a real way, facing them and giving them the middle finger so to speak\u201c, says Lars. Brittle Bones is juxtaposing the catchy and the raspy, the pretty and the ugly, comfort, and disturbance of such… for the essence of art can only be understood as equally \u201edisturbing the\u00a0<\/i>comfortable and comforting the disturbed\u201c,<\/i>\u00a0says Lars.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
