Them Wolves release Wolf Song video

Them Wolves recently recorded a brilliant video for their track Wolf Song.

Produced by the very excellent Paul Broome (of Broome Photo/Fauxchisels fame), Wolf Song is the second track to be released from the German For Duke EP which we released earlier this year in conjunction with It’s Just Noise.

The EP is still available from our online shop up above.


Watch the video here:

Them Wolves join the family with ‘German for Duke’

All may have seemed pretty quiet on the DT front of late, but don't let that fool you. Here at Distorted Tapes HQ I've been plotting our next moves towards world domination and am teaming up with the brand-spanking new It's Just Noise label to bring you two exciting releases which I personally can't wait to splatter all over your eardrums.

First up we have noise-rock trio Them Wolves' debut proper EP, German For Duke. Set for release on 24th June 2013, it'll be available as a limited edition screen-printed CD & digital download. Aaaaaand you can pre-order this bad boy here now. Go, go, go!

As a taste of what's in store they've also made a proper pop video which is full of suspense and mild terror (and can be watched in HD). Click play:


The track listing for German for Duke is as follows: 

1. The Wild Girl of Champagne
2. Folding a Napkin on Terminal Island
3. Let’s You and Him Fight
4. You’re More Like a Young Mary Bell
5. Wolf Song

And here's what some kind people said. Nice things.

“Them Wolves make us feel like we have just been fisted. In the face. Loud, brash, intimidating and a whole lot of fun.” - Pink Mist

"The bearded terrorists of unmitigated sonic domination aren't playing their songs, they're abusively detonating them at point blank range." - BrumNotes
More on the second split release soon... I'll give you chance to digest first, but let me give you a hint: TEAT LAW.

Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013


Happy New Year everyone, hope Christmas was as fun and rewarding for you as it was for Distorted Tapes! December was a busy month with two Christmas shows, the first Distorted Tapes t-shirt and the release of an extra-special download compilation featuring some of our favourite bands of 2012. If you missed any of these (where were you!?) you can catch up with them by doing the following:

Download the compilation, They're Flocking This Way, here (IT'S FREE!):


And if like me you love Jurassic Park-themed music things, why not pick up one of the sweet Jurassic Tapes shirts in the Distorted Tapes shop? They were screened by the wonderful Do Make Say Ink and they look beautiful even if I do say so myself. Don't believe me? See for yourself!

Phew! Sexy isn't it? So before I finally draw a line under the excellent year that was 2012, here's a little video put together by Doug from Feral Goat Film, who documented our Festive All-Dayer at The Haygate on December 8th. He did a top job, and was real good of him to give up his time.


So what does 2013 have in store? Well, you'll have to wait and see. But let me give you a little hint... this Sunday prepare to hear a pretty big bit of news regarding the next release from a certain band from Wolverhampton. Excited doesn't cover it.

Until then, let me wish you all the best for 2013 - it's gonna be killer!
