Music Snitch

Only being acquainted with Sea Wolf’s music for a few days prior to attending their concert, I was not exactly sure what to expect…little did I know what a treat I was in for. First off, the vibe that was flowing from the stage was near impossible to resist and it sucked me in like a vacuum to a crumb. On the way to the venue I figured Sea Wolf would be a mellow live show that if best would resemble their recorded sound, boy was I mistaken.

Sea Wolf is definitely a band that can be better appreciated in a live setting. Their sound was funkier than the album hinted at and it seemed as if the band members were feeding off each other rather than simply going through the motions. The music coming out of the speakers tickled my groove button while at the same time soothed my inner anxiousness. Alex B. Church is a very unassuming frontman whose voice is tenderly alluring, especially with the sounds of a soft cello backing and cool keyboard stints. There were no flashing lights or bizarre antics but my attention was certainly fixated on that dimly lit stage and the fabulous musicians perched on it. Sea Wolf was a pleasant surprise and after seeing them live, the album sounds even better than before.
