WOLF PARADE

We are shirtless Huns, brought by the stinking winds of Western Canada.

‘SUP says: What is a hun? Like the shortened Southern way of saying “honey”? Or like destructive ancient barbarian? You guys, come on. You know you’re more honey than hun. And you’re from Canada – there are no barbarians in Canada, but my God is your music FEROCIOUS!

How we met Wolf Parade:
A friend threw a CD-R onto our desk and said, “You’re gonna love this.” It was a six-song demo from Montreal-based Wolf Parade. It’s hurky, jerky rock full of beats, keyboards and wincing, howling vocals. Everytime it comes on our iPod shuffle, our ears perk up and we’re like, “Fuckin’ Wolf Parade, they get us every time.” By now, hopefully you’ve heard who they’ve toured with and who’s responsible for them signing to Sub Pop (ahem… he’s a modest mouse of a guy). Oh, we talked to these guys on the phone a million times and the promised us a big long essay complicated intro, but all we got was a sentence. We’re not afraid to call you at your girlfriend’s house again.
