Clash Music Magazine reviewed WCFW new single and video recently and this is whether had to say;
“Scottish rock outfit We Came From Wolves have always been open about mental health issues. The group’s struggles – individually and collectively – inform their lyricism, using music as a means of communication.
New track ‘The Peak Beneath The Sea’ finds the band moving past these issues, finding a means to cope with the world around them.
Kyle Burgess explains, “The Peak Beneath the Sea is about trying to overcome these issues, and in particular, finding that place or those people who can help you do that, whether physical or metaphysical, whilst also accepting the painful truth that it may never be possible to fully escape the darkness but instead work on growing stronger to keep it at bay.”
‘The Peak Beneath The Sea’ is a crunching return, with the lyrical rise nailed against some powerful rock music.

With a band name taken from a vaporising device featured in the 1970’s sci-fi novel ‘A Whirlpool Of Stars, UK punk-rock trio Tonota 80 have just announced the release of their new album, Killer Sands And Beating Hearts.
The Maidstone, Kent based three-piece cite influences from a myriad of genres such as Husker Du, Dinosaur Jr, Swervedriver and Radio Birdman.
The opening track, ‘She Let Go’ has the 1980s fuzz guitar of Husker Du and layers over the 1960s vocal harmonies to produce a grungy effort that we loved. The much faster Show Me The Door maintains the vocal harmonies but adds a rougher, rawer riff driven garage punk backing to produce a fuzzed out party!
On Could Do Better, Tonota 80 really channel Bob Mould and Grant Hart with superb bass and drums supporting fuzz guitars and harmonies aplenty from the vocals. Tonight is a raucous rocker with strong melody and rasping guitars whilst During The War is a little more UK82 punk rock, albeit with a garage rock feel.
The twelve-track album continues with Back In The World where the vocals are more up in the mix with some atonal elements, rhythmic changes all backed by some driving guitars and You’ve Got An Answer For Everything would not sound out of place on a Copper album.
Beetle In A Jar is a tighter, faster punk rock effort with Montauk more mid-paced but not lacking hooks and power. The churning and chunky Ugly Suits has a strong bass underpinning with a catchy melody and the penultimate song, What People Say is a faster effort full of monster riffs, melodic vocals and head-banging power!
This excellent album ends with the almost five-minute pounder, No Good where harmonies compete with some excellent riffs before giving way to a mournful piano, and synth strings to see us out.
