Poseur's Way Too Pretentious Top Ten Albums of 2006: #7 WOLFMOTHER - Wolfmother


File Under: 1970s riff rock
If You Like: Soundgarden, Queens of the Stone Age
Label: Interscope

Admit it. You like 70s hard rock. The overdone solos, the big vocals, the riffs. And some indie rock bands have dipped into that grab bag and given some love to the Deep Purple fan in all of us, but always with a nod and a wink. Hey, we know this is cheesy, but it’s fun.

Wolfmother dispenses with the irony and just throws themselves into the sound. They wouldn’t sound out of place, say, opening up for Thin Lizzy. Besides, has irony made it to Australia yet? This band simply rocks.
