Whats The Time Mr Wolf

The debut album from this energetic and impressively musical band; like others on this page, I got this after buying their second album “Wild Young Hearts”; this one takes a more aggressively Punky approach than that second disc but it also has smoother and more lyrical tracks – which also serve to present the vocal talents of front-woman Shingai Shoniwa, bassist and lead vocalist.All the song lyrics are included in the booklet.A cracking album - it`s only fault is that it`s over too soon.The CD has a playing time of 38.32 minutes; click on the mp3 download button above and choose mp3 as the buying option to access the sound samples.

I bought this album after their second one (which I bought on the strength of 'go baby go'). It's got a more rocky edge to it, and rougher, but you can still hear what the band will become, good tunes, I like it!

It took alittle while to get here, but the most important thing: it's a great album and a great price.

Bought this for my dad for his birthday, and he's played it none stop for the week he's had it. I must admit, I do like the noisettes so I don't mind. Lovely voice - great, catchy songs with good lyrics. Dad is very pleased!

Love this band,,,,, Great album, thank you.

Album tails off a bit but opening tracks are the fresh of breath air needed since Billie Holiday never got to record with Led Zeppelin

I could compare this to any number of female-fronted rock groups throughout history but that would not only be lazy, it would also be inaccurate, as apart from the odd glimpse of a PJ Harvey wail this is utterly unique, without doing anything particularly new. Vocalist / bassist Shingai Shoniwa has a manic fevered intensity to her squawks that make the moments when she goes soulful all the more stunning (she even sounds like Adam Ant on one track - honest!) and her hairy, male backing duo are tight and fluid throughout. It would be churlish to pick out individual tracks - although the singles do shine brightest - as the record as a whole rattles along with little pause for breath, urging you to repeat it from the start all over again. I don't know how the ladies of the world keep on producing music which has significantly bigger testes than the supposed macho male ones without getting the deserved sales or plaudits, but I can only hope it continues cos this stuff is great. And what a title as well, took me right back to the primary school playground in 1981. And believe me that's not a bad place to be either.
