So - Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man On Earth. Is there a more distinctive voice out there? If so, I'm yet to hear it. It's unmistakable. I heard 'The Wild Hunt' for the first time just as I pulled into my driveway the other day, and found myself unable to exit the car until it was over. It's the type of song that messes me up - all wistful and hopeful, with a melody that just gets me , making me feel both happy and sad all at once. I love it. The Wild [...]

We don't do too many of these types of posts over here at SubEx where it lists out our best bets for the weekend, but perhaps we should; live music is what this whole thing is about, no? By the looks of it, it's going to be a good Friday, and Saturday as well. So we thought we'd give you a little rundown of what all is going down. So without further ado (or subtle jabs at our friends), here are this weekend's shows of note. FRIDAY : Daniel Markham [...]

I don't know much about One Wolf at this point, other than that it is the songwriting vehicle of a Texan named Daniel Markham . After linking to the new song from Deer Tick yesterday the band's promo people quickly sent along this one from their sophomore album, One Wolf II: Secret of the Wolf . Turns out they are playing some shows with DT this week and thought I might want to share some music with y'all. And I do. "Backyard" is somewhat similar to Deer Tick, not because it shares [...]

Words: Emmy Droege So I've been listening to One Wolf 's latest album for the past week. By now I would have thought some earth-shattering statement would have poured from my fingertips. No such luck. That's not to say 'One Wolf II: Secret of the Wolf' is a terrible album that sputters into a god-forsaken abyss. Though it's not exactly strutting on brilliance, either. It's simply an average one that seems to wobble on a mediocre tight rope. I guess that's the price you pay for having high [...]

For MM, there is nothing better than a musical surprise - putting something on for the first time and finding yourself immediately knowing you've struck gold. And so it was with One Wolf and their new album One Wolf II: Secret Of The Wolf . Describing the album as a mix of spaghetti western and sci-fi explosion just about does it justice. But what it doesn't tell you is just how damn good Daniel Markham's songs are. From indie rockers to folkish ballads and desert country blues, they are delivered with [...]

Tuesday, March 16, 2010 By now you've been bombarded with dozens upon dozens of party options, and you've probably cobbled together a list of "Must See" bands for SXSW. You're ready. Or, at least you think you are. I'm now going to mess that up by throwing out two more parties that are, of course, full of good bands you may or may not know and free beer and vodka. That's what I like to call a win-win ... except for the whole scheduling part. [...]

One Wolf - Backyard.mp3 (4 MB) Lubbock's One Wolf will be touring through town on Feb. 3, playing Notsuoh with Lazio. After parting ways with his old band, Daniel Markham started One Wolf. Influenced by bands that range from Tears for Fears and New Order to Hank Williams and Whiskeytown, Markham decided to create something that fell somewhere between those two extremes - and out of that idea grew One Wolf. One Wolf's solo songs range from spaghetti western to sci-fi explosion, helped by producer Jason Martin (Starflyer [...]
