Wolfmother is an Australian power trio which has an obvious love for the rock of the seventies, and have taken that angle and gone full-bore with it, producing a very retro and occasionally psychedelic solid rock album that would have been huge in 1974.The musical touchstones on display here are many, but the influence of bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Blue Cheer seem to be the most overt influences, along with occasional Pink Floyd, Doors and Hendrix reference. Taking a page from the White Stripes, Wolfmother have taken the idea of "vintage" music as a modern concept of style and created a cover band that plays no covers. Old-school seventies-style rock without the sardonic posturing and Spinal Tap-eque bad taste of, say, The Darkness, these guys seem to play this style because they love it. This has been done before, but never quite so successfully...these guys definately rock.
