According to the band Wolf Hand is “our very own piercing tale of forgetting about ageing and staying forever young,” and there’s no doubt that every word, pounding beat and soaring guitar embodies the spirit of youth, as captured in this home inspired video directed by Bob Harlow.
One of the album’s many highlights ‘Wolf Hand’ demonstrates just why Q said ‘Tough Love’ was “the most exciting British rock album in years”. The album’s previous single ‘V.E.N.O.M.’ received unprecedented support from Radio 1, 6 Music and XFM and ‘Wolf Hand’ looks certain to carry on the tradition, hot on the heels of an incredible UK tour that climaxed at a sold out show at The Electric Ballroom in London. The band have also been confirmed for a slew of festivals this summer, including the main stage slot at Reading & Leeds.
