North Carolina post hardcore/punks Wolves&Wolves&Wolves&Wolves (Wolvesx4) have announced a brief east coast tour in December with Burns Like Fire.
Wolvesx4 are fresh off a new full length album that was released in September via Wiretap Records titled The Cross And The Switchblade, which saw them spending a month overseas on a European tour. The record saw a Euro release via Gunner Records.
On the new record, the band delivers 10 solid tracks of post-hardcore/punk with emotion bursting at the seem. When asked about the new album and it’s reference to the religious theme, singer/guitarist Brian Woodall commented:
“‘Subtle Serpents’ (previous LP) was spent looking out; singing about lost friends, lost love, and the place I live. ‘The Cross and The Switchblade’ has a much more personal focus; songs about me, losing my faith, and wanting more from music. Over the past few years I’ve been searching, I grew up Christian but never felt like I belonged. After a lot of reading and thinking I came to the conclusion that that wasn’t who I was or wanted to be. ‘The Cross and The Switchblade’ is actually about me losing my faith, the second verse is a renunciation “So it seems to me, the time has come, to face the truth. That I just can’t believe, the things that I held so dear, from the days of my youth.” I’m not atheist, I’m not Christian, I just choose to not claim I know all the answers.”
