"...then go listen to The Virgin Wolves….and if that doesn’t work then you have no soul"

"The opening riff is quite killer, and this song is vying for the title of "Best Hard Rock Anthem of the Year". I challenge anyone to put out a more rocking song in the remaining months of 2010."

"Do you hate music that really rocks? If so, then do not, I repeat, DO NOT listen to this song and stick with your Michael Bolton. For the rest of you, I offer this song up to again because, well, it rocks."

BIO:
What started as humble beginnings for guitarist Chase Robbins and vocalist Jaimeson Robbins, who alongside a single Macbook played venues and house shows in the North Texas area, is steadily developing into one of the best indie rock ‘n roll-blues bands in the region. With the addition of bass player Kristin Leigh, previously of the Dallas-based band Pale Horse, and Steve Phillips on drums, their live show was catapulted to a new level of energy and rhythm. In late 2010, fellow guitarist Carson Coldiron was the fifth and final member added to the band's rock 'n roll repertoire, filling out the band's overall sound.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Led Zeppelin and legendary bluesman Howlin' Wolf, The Virgin Wolves' sound is predominantly upbeat rock 'n roll with a twist of fierce, bluesy, matter-of-fact vocals. Their live shows are unparalleled in terms of energy and sex appeal.
The Virgin Wolves have been featured on “The Local Show”, a weekly presentation of DFW artists on Dallas's Clear Channel station 102.1 The Edge, as well as radio stations ranging from Houston to Maine. In just a short time on the scene, the band has garnered the attention of numerous music blogs, college newspapers and various media outlets.
Their first self-titled EP, released in June of 2010, set the stage for the band to play larger shows, as they began drawing in an eager and diverse audience. In March, 2011 they were invited to play at 35 Conferette, Denton's annual music festival which boasts larger national acts such as Outkast's Big Boi, Reggie Watts, legendary artist Mavis Staples and Dr. Dog. One month later they released Bad Blood, their second and most highly praised album, for which audiences
have responded to with excitement.
As blogger and musician Robbie D. Love from rockandrollblues.com puts it, "We definitely believe The Virgin Wolves will leave their stain on rock 'n roll as innovators of the genre. They know how to get down and dirty, tell a shipwrecked story, break some shit and get out before anybody realizes the walls just burnt down to the ground."
