"Seven Days a Week (Radio Edit)" - Goddamn Wolves: A Hard-Hitting Indie Rock Gem
Artist: Goddamn Wolves Single: Seven Days a Week (Radio Edit) Genre: Alternative Rock, Indie Rock, 90’s Rock Release Date: June 7th, 2024
Goddamn Wolves, an indie rock trio hailing from Raleigh, NC, is back with their latest track, "Seven Days a Week (Radio Edit)." The band, consisting of singer/guitarist/songwriter Chris Weilding, bassist/vocalist Laura McCullough, and drummer/vocalist Drew Foglia, delivers a powerful punch with their blend of punky riffs and male/female vocal dynamics.
Influenced by classic alternative rock acts like the Pixies and contemporary bands like the Beths, Goddamn Wolves infuse their sound with a raw, garage punk energy. "Seven Days a Week" showcases this perfectly, combining fiery vocals with hard-hitting riffs and a rhythmic feel that almost evokes a sense of slow motion. The track's unique groove is partly due to the slightly delayed snares, creating an intriguing slowing-down effect that maintains momentum throughout.
The song represents a significant collaboration within the band, with Chris contributing the verses and choruses, while Laura adds her touch to the bridge. Laura's involvement in the songwriting process has added a new dimension to their music, and her enthusiasm for working with Chris shines through in the track's seamless flow and dynamic structure.
Recorded by Max Gowan and Travis Harrington at Found After Dark studio in Raleigh, and mixed and mastered by Max Gowan, the production on "Seven Days a Week" is top-notch. The mix is rich and full, with great guitar tones and catchy lines that linger long after the song ends. The radio edit is snappy and tight, though it leaves listeners wishing for just a bit more.
"Seven Days a Week" is a testament to Goddamn Wolves' ability to craft well-written songs with huge, immersive sounds. The band's signature in-your-face attitude and playful defiance of the norm are ever-present, making this track a standout addition to their discography.

Childish Gambino surprises us with Atavista, a polished re-release of his 2020 album 3.15.20. Gambino originally released the unfinished record during the Covid-19 pandemic as a rushed love letter to his apocalypse anxiety and to his fans. Needing a master and a mix, Gambino resurfaced the entire album and dropped it alongside a list of tour dates. Atavista is an intimate album that somehow maintains oodles of mystique and disconnectivity. The words to the songs are new, but the album's sound isn’t anything that we haven’t heard from Gambino before.
