Concrete Playground

I saw the film that Wolf & Cub are named after once, Lone Wolf and Cub. It was one of those random gems that you sometimes stumble across on SBS. It tells the story of a single father Samurai who trains his infant son to take vengeance on their sworn enemies. It is pretty bad ass.

The Adeladians are more known for their two drum kit live show than their sword skills or parenting. But they do it very well - live shows turning into freak outs with drum sticks brandished on their drums like they've been training in their rehearsal room dojo for yonks.

Their second album Science and Sorcery, released earlier this year, imbued an electronic element into their rhythm-based psychedelic sound, aided and influenced by Chris Colonna from Bumblebeez on production duties.

Hearts is their latest single from the album – a downbeat groove that hints at Primal Scream and then doubles back into an organ driven mess of beats and melodies. Wolf & Cub are touting this at OAF next week, with help from The Vasco Era (those Melburnians that put out dirty poppy blues, with a bit of 90's grunge in the mix). Brisbane 2 piece DZ  start the party early with their thrash-dance-punk.
