9 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Hard Rock, METAL: Doom/Stoner Metal
Details:
Wooly Mammoth is a heavy rock band from Washington, D.C. with an instinct for survival.
The band was formed in October 2000 by singer/guitarist/songwriter, Zac Eller, formerly of hardcore acts Worlds Collide and Bluetip (Dischord Records) and drummer Phil Adler, a Berklee School Of Music student trained in jazz and reggae. The two recruited local madman and musical prodigy, Kyle Connolly as the bass player and the line-up was complete. After playing their first handful of local shows, Wooly Mammoth drew the attention of Mid-Atlantic based Underdogma Records, which released the band’s “Ten Ton Baby” EP in 2002. Songs such as “Crying Dog” and “600 Pounds of Stolen Trucker Speed” crawl over a landscape of psychedelic sounds, droning dirges, post hardcore blasts, and mostly good old hard rock all before ending at the 26 minute mark. Positive reactions from critics and fans reassured the band they were on the right path.
“Ten Ton Baby” launched Wooly Mammoth as the opening act for The Hidden Hand, Earth, Burning Brides, Dead Meadow, Clutch and High on Fire. Whether touring on their own or playing with national, high- profile bands, Wooly Mammoth took in stride a thousand small tragedies and a handful of major disasters that would have destroyed most bands. They worked relentlessly to be on stage as often as possible to maintain their growing reputation for intense live performances, which led to an invitation to be added to the bill at the third annual Emissions From the Monolith Festival.
Zac Eller’s songwriting skills were taking huge leaps forward as the band continued to grow beyond the confines of it’s previous explorations and people were taking notice. In December 2003, Wooly Mammoth was invited to Phase Recording by musical engineer and Hidden Hand bassist, Bruce Falkenberg. The result: two barreling forward, no holds barred rock n’ roll gems delivered with passion and sincerity. “The Prophet” and “Mastercut and Charisma.” became one half of “Night Letters,” a split EP with The Hidden Hand. Released June 2004 on MeteorCity in the U.S. and Exile on Mainstream in Europe, the critically acclaimed “Night Letters” opened the doors for Wooly Mammoth to be discovered by heavy music fans worldwide.
The band has just released their debut full length album “The Temporary Nature” on Underdogma records. Wooly Mammoth has yet to make it’s true mark on music.
