![]() “Between The Rocks” feels like fan-service in the most brilliant way, quick-witted lyrics spit straight out of 2009 alongside riffs ready to jump into, followed swiftly by “Sabre Tooth” which unlike many of Treays’ best feels more fit for an arena than a sweaty basement, the swooning rock production perhaps the biggest sonic maturing we hear on the record. The peaks and dips of The Theory of Whatever are a little less gloriously rough around the edges, but they’ve far from lost their effect.Īnd yes, there is fresh mosh-pit bait here, raw and rough and ready to go. Treays packs equal depth into a sound a little more relaxed: “St George Wharf Tower” is a melancholic whip-round of London scenes that manages to feel quietly optimistic, “Talk Is Cheap” is an absolute “Back In The Game”-esque acoustic-guitar outpouring, but Treays’s delivery is almost comforting in its familiarity (though no doubt this one will hit its emotional heights in the live setting). None of them quite reach the sprawling emotive heights of the likes of “Sign of the Times” or more recent deep cut “The Likeness of Being”, but that’s because they don’t need to howl their desolation to the wind. The ballads, for the most part, feel more private. Opener “90s Cars” is a restrained, yearning ode to a missed love told in snippets of images, a selection of appetisers for the songs to come. The Theory of Whatever packs less rapidfire bangers than earlier records (though they’re definitely present) which means that the lyrical prowess shines through, lending greater weight to the tales within.

And the Theory of Whatever feels like one of the first times he’s really told his own story rather than turning the pen to abstract narratives. Watch out for more new music from Wolf Rd in the weeks and months ahead.Unpretentious has always been the way to characterise Jamie Treays as an artist and as a performer, but The Theory of Whatever does a stellar job of reminding us that as no-fuss as he is, he’s still an artist and at the absolute core of it all, a storyteller. Most people change for the better, but sometimes a person who was really important to you gets older and becomes somebody you can’t stand to be around anymore.” ![]() Growing up sucks, and a big part of that is people change. I think a lot of people might not catch that right away, because of how aggressive the song is musically. ![]() Speaking about the song’s lyrics, Hoffmann continues “Burn All Of Your Bridges is about growing apart from someone you used to feel close to. It’s like if a metalcore song was an opera with different movements and sections.” Burn All Of Your Bridges is our ‘Stairway To Heaven’ – it has so many different pieces. ![]() We spent a lot of time writing our most brutal riffs and breakdowns, and then finding ways to connect them together within a single song. Wolf Rd frontman Chris Hoffmann says, “We wanted to create a song that takes fans on a journey, both emotionally and sonically.
