The Wolverines    
 

  

Since forming in 1994 the Wolverines have introduced audiences all around Australia & NZ to their unique blend of tongue-in-cheek humour, hard-hitting, rock-your-sox-off Wolverines Music as well as the gentle art of having a bloody fantastic time! These "likeable rogues" are seasoned performers who have combined to produce an act that is uniquely visual, extremely musical and totally entertaining.

Tamworth 2008 saw the release of the Wolves' 6th CD “Occasional Course Language” - their first Party Album .... strange that it's taken so long really, because from day one, way back in 1994, this is what people have been asking for... Years of Harley-Davidson gigs, B&S Balls, Rodeos, Sailing Regattas & the regular late night party crowds at places like the Gympie Crow Bar and the Dungeon have more than prepared Darcy, Chris and John for this project.

Some of the songs on the new album are possibly not entirely politically correct; there is some occasional coarse language; there are some sexual references; but there is no violence!!!...and to prove their worth the Wolves have performed several of the tracks for our troops on the April Middle East Tour de Force and have met with resounding success.

"Occasional Course Language" captures the essence of a Wolverines Show... loads of fun and irreverence, with a beautiful ballad and the odd classic thrown in.

The Wolverines 5th CD, “GOOD TIMES” also released at Tamworth (2006) was voted Best Album at 2007 Peoples' Choice Awards. Produced by the highly acclaimed Nashville musician & producer, Louie Shelton , “GOOD TIMES” is a benchmark recording for the Wolverines. Darcy, Chris and John can be justifiably proud of this one. Hailed as their “best ever” album, the praise is flowing- “ ..unquestionably of international standard . ”( Country Update) & “ the definitive release that really captures the band's energy & diversity.” (Capital News). “Good Times” has something for everybody. The first single, “Angel Eyes”, reached no 1 on the Country Tracks Chart and won Best Song (Peoples' Choice Awards) & 2 nd single “Up & Done Died” reached no 3 on the Country Top 100. With “Good Times” the Wolverines won Best Group - National Country Music Awards at Whittlesea, Vic.

Their 4th album "MAKING TRACKS" (released on ACMEC label, April 2004), has provided an abundance of material for their live performances. 'Proud to be Australian', 'That's The Price Of Love', 'Living On The Right Side Of Town', 'The Greatest Lie Ever Told' and the cheeky 'Don't Look Now (Mama's Got Her Boobs Out)” all hits with the crowds.

"MAKING TRACKS" had a hard act to follow after their previous album, the 2002 ACMEC release "WOLVERINES & ROSES", (featuring the hit single "65 Roses" and the exceptional “I Had A Dream”), still recording high sales figures.

Released prior to "WOLVERINES & ROSES” hit single "65 Roses" went GOLD in September 2001. Selling over 35,000 copies, this single raised the awareness and much needed research funds for Cystic Fibrosis. "65 Roses" was also released in NZ and reached #1 on the Charts, and again went GOLD!

Their first two albums "GONNA RIDE ALL NIGHT LONG" and "FEEL THE NEED TO RIDE" were both recorded in Nashville Tennessee, and are still selling well on the ABC Music Label.
