"more, more, more, I want more, more more... more entertainment..."
The Netherlands based Wodan Boys have no problem thrashing, churning out heavy jagged, noisy alt rock / post punk / call it what you want. Listen to "More Entertainment" and there is a blistering pounding that made me think of band like The Stooges and The Hives. They dropped their self titled EP on July 9th and you must check out the Live Sessions up on YouTube kerwhere the boys plow through 6 songs. In total, the breath and scope here is a potent heavy punch with shoutabout lyrics without taking a breath. The set runs the gamut from heavy surf punk, to angular noise rock, jagged more storyteller punk (one song had me thinking of an amalgam of The Pixies and Nick Cave) and the amazingly pummeling 15 minutes long "Wodan Boys", that feels like a sort of punk / art rock horror western opera. Holy fuck.

Here we go, Wodan Boys band bio: Let's be honest. You don't need another shopping list of bands we all like nor a bunch of metaphors that make us look cool. High energy loudmouth rock music, that’s basically what it's about. We're not vegan, didn't have a hard childhood and yet fully aware we're all on the same sinking ship. Godspeed, Thomas and Mikkie B
