The triumphant punk-rock rallying call of ‘The Wolf You Feed’ cames out on vinyl earlier this year after its initial release in August last year. Teaming up with Grammy-Award winning engineer Stuart Sikes (The White Stripes, CatPower) for their sixth album, Riverboat Gamblers created a darker record than any of their back catalogue with hooks hefting hooks aplenty. Just a listen to the first fifteen seconds of the opener ‘Good Veins’ proves that this approach was entirely justified.
