From the opening scream and riff of "Dimension," you can instantly tell Wolfmother is something unique.
Well, I should say unique for today. They bring a straight-forward rock that could easily fit in next to Led Zepplin, Deep Purple or Black Sabbath.
It's classic rock. If someone told you this album was recorded in the 70s, you wouldn't doubt it.
The Australian trio's debut album even conjures up some Queens of the Stone Age on "Mind's Eye" and White Stripes on "Apple Tree."
Maybe it's fitting that the chorus of "Dimension" includes the lyrics "Purple hazes in the sky."
It's not Jimi Hendrix, but the music reeks of that generation. Heavy bass riffs, thumping drums, distored rock.
They do, however, find some psychedlia on "Joker & The Thief."
It's not complicated music, but it's good solid rock.
The band is playing at Cat's Cradle in Carrboro on June 7.

No band could attempt this music. No band would want to attempt this music. Why? Because Wolfmother shows the boundries of rock music. It shows why music can change the way you enjoy and live music.
