Wolf Parade Bulk Up

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) August 11, 2008 3:33 pm
I saw my favourite show of 2007 at exactly this same time last summer. Wolf Parade hadn't played a concert since the year before that and their first show back was a headlining gig at the Wolfe Island Music Festival in Kingston, Ont. Instead of showcasing a few new songs and shaking the dust off their classics, they performed nearly an entire...

Wolf Parade — At Mount Zoomer

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 17, 2008 3:36 pm
Let me preface this by saying if there's one record you should own this year, it's At Mount Zoomer. Usually you close a review with a line like that, but I think it's the most important detail about Wolf Parade's second full-length, so why not start there? For a band whose focus is split in so many directions (Sunset Rubdown,...

Lightning Strikes Twice For Wolf Parade

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) August 27, 2007 1:00 pm
Exactly two weeks ago Saturday, a band made my head explode. It was an unusual experience because it was a group who I'd seen numerous times in the past, one who I hadn't exactly lost my passion for, but who I thought would never reach the sheer unmitigated highs they'd provided during my earliest viewings. But at the Wolfe Island Music Fest,...

Wolf Parade Appropriately Blow Away Wolfe Island Fest

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) August 14, 2007 12:00 pm
I've been living in Toronto since 1999, but I grew up in Kingston, Ontario, the former capital of Canada, home of Sir John A. Macdonald's grave, and birthplace of Bryan Adams. Kingston is a funny place. It's a smallish city with a big city mentality (where Brampton is somehow a huge city with a small town attitude), a place I like to visit more...

Wolf Parade Continue Setting Hearts Alight

in
By Pras Rajagopalan (CHARTattack) August 8, 2006 4:30 pm
Early concerts often cause all kinds of confusion, as the standards of show etiquette are thrown into doubt by strange set times and venue restrictions. This show was no exception, with Frog Eyes putting on a half-hour set a mere 15 minutes after doors had opened at 6 p.m. The result was that many patrons, myself included, missed all or some...

Wolf Parade — Apologies To The Queen Mary

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) September 27, 2005 4:05 pm
Canadian music has never been so universally unstoppable as it is right now. The Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene have drawn so much attention to the Canadian indie scene that it's impossible for great bands not to spring up. Which brings us to Wolf Parade, who've been looming for almost three years, quietly releasing excellent independent...

Wolf Parade — Wolf Parade EP

By Noah Love (CHARTattack) July 12, 2005 3:42 pm
I want to tell you how good Wolf Parade's new record is, but I can't because it doesn't come out until September. In the meantime, here is just a small taste of things to come. The EP's "You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son" and "Shine A Light" aren't even close to the band's best and yet they're still compelling. "...

Feeling sluggish this morning? Same. But we've put together a little pick-me-up for you. Today we salute those artists who can make something beautiful out of dirty, messy noise. Noisy music has a sort of inherit spirituality: While angels up in heaven are plucking away at their tiny angel harps, us miserable humans are stuck on Earth, maxing out...

Are Wolf Parade Done?

That headline's the question every Wolf Parade fan must be asking themselves after a gig the band played in Vancouver on Monday, which they'd dubbed their "final show." According to the Vancouver Sun, after playing a full set at the Commodore Ballroom, Spencer Krug announced that the show was to be the band's last "for [a] long time."Indeed, the...

Video Of The Day: Wolf Parade's "Yulia"

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) October 5, 2010 12:48 pm
Wolf Parade's clip for Expo 86's "Yulia" is pretty... well... heartbreaking. The Scott Coffey-directed video is based on a conspiracy theory about secret, suicidal Soviet missions that were sent into space during the Cold War. Basically, the theory states that the Soviet Union once sent some of their own citizens into space without any way of...
