THE WOLFMEN – “Jackie Says” (unsigned, UK)

The Wolfmen are a duo from the UK consisting of songwriters/producers/musicians Marco Pirroni and Chris Constantinou, who have collectively worked with everyone from Siouxsie & The Banshees, Adam & The Ants, and Sinead O’Connor to Paul McCartney. The Wolfmen have procured a significant amount of tastemaker radio support on both sides of the Atlantic (including spins on BBC Radio 2, 6 Music, KUPD Phoenix, KZON Phoenix, KVGS Las Vegas, “Indie 103.1FM” Los Angeles and KROQ Los Angeles) for their debut EP, Jackie Says, on their own indie label Damaged Goods. In addition to the radio support and charting in the Top 20 on the US Mediaguide official airplay monitoring chart for many weeks, The Wolfmen’s work is also set to appear on the upcoming TV show “Britain’s Next Top Model,” set to air in the UK in August and US in October 2007. Back in London, The Wolfmen recently collaborated in the studio with Daler Mehndi (the biggest–selling Indian artist in music history). The band has also had its music selected for EA Games’ upcoming “NHL 08,” while BMG Music Publishing’s Beverly Hills–based “Killer Tracks” division has launched a specially commissioned CD, Indier Than Thou, for film/TV which includes 12 Wolfmen originals. The Wolfmen recently had legendary producer/mixer Alan Moulder (The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Blonde Redhead) add his production magic to the band’s upcoming debut album. The Wolfmen are currently available for signing, licensing and booking/touring in markets worldwide. For more information, contact manager Mike Tunnicliffe at mike@thewolfmen.net.

BAND OF HORSES ON THE RUN TO #1: After more than a month of chart-top domination by such old-school favorites as Beck, Dave Gahan and Siouxsie, score one for the 21^st Century rockers: Sub Pop’s Band of Horses bows atop both charts this week, with lead single “Is There a Ghost” heading the Mediaguide Specialty Airplay Song chart and full-length Cease to Begin topping the Album side. Hailing from the bucolic environs of the aptly named Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Band of Horses was formed from the ashes of Carissa’s Weird, Northwest orchestral-pop darlings for over a decade, and haven’t strayed too far from that defining sound. Taking up the banner for the old school is Thurston Moore, whose Trees Outside the Academy (Ecstatic Peace!), the first solo effort from the Sonic Youth guitarist since 1995’s Psychic Hearts, debuts at #12 on the Album chart; single “Fri/End” simultaneously bows at #13 on the Song side. Also flying the banner for the format-defining artists is Black Francis, who draws a pair of fives: single “Captain Pasty” (Cooking Vinyl) fills that position on the Song chart, while full-length Bluefinger fills the same slot on the Album index. Meanwhile, newer artists are once again filling most of the top-five slots on both charts: Pinback remains at #2 on the Song side with “From Nothing to Nowhere” (Touch and Go), full-length Autumn of the Seraphs remains firmly ensconced in the Top 5 at #4, dropping behind Astralwerks’ VHS or Beta’s Bring on the Comets at #2 and Hard-Fi’s Once Upon a Time in the West (Necessary/Atlantic) at #3. One other artist debut of note: Metro Blue’s The Bird and the Bee bows at #8 on the Album index with the Please Clap Your Hands EP, helped by strong Song support for “Polite Dance Song,” which debuts at #12.
