Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States (1996 – present)

Wolf Eyes began as a solo project of former Nautical Almanac member Nate Young in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States in 1996, with Aaron Dilloway joining in 1999, and John Olson in 2000. During this time, the band also briefly relocated to New York City and at one point enlisted Andrew Wilkes-Krier, now known to the public as Andrew W.K.. The group is rumored to have released over 150 recordings in their relatively short lifespan, on labels such as Bulb Records, Troubleman Unlimited, Fusetron, and Sub Pop, as well as on Olson’s American Tapes label, Dilloway’s Hanson Records and, most recently, Mike Connelly’s Gods of Tundra label. Connelly (also of Hair Police) replaced Dilloway on tour in early 2005, due to the latter’s departure for Nepal to make arrangements for his marriage, but Dilloway still records with the original members.

Most Wolf Eyes recordings are self-released, following the DIY tradition of bands such as Smegma. Their first major release was Dread, released on the American Tapes and Hanson Records labels but distributed through Bulb Records. Other major releases include Dead Hills on Troubleman and Burned Mind on Sub Pop. Most Wolf Eyes recordings are released as either lathes, cassettes, or cd-rs.

Wolf Eyes’ first two major tours were with Sonic Youth and Andrew W.K.

smallambulances I agree with you completely. I really wish there was a way to ban this band from ever playing on my Last.fm channels ever again. While I understand why some folks love this sort of thing certainly not my cup of tea.

Crap. I just noticed you listen to ambient, electronic, "indie", New Wave, etc. Not even metal. Nevermind, unless you are into extreme music than the below shouts don't really matter.

I mean, really. Listen to Stabbed In the Face of Village Oblivia... can't you see that this music isn't even that harsh, kind of noisy, but not really, and pretty much the most accessible thing to ever come out of the "noise" scene? Other albums might be fairly unaccessible but still compared to other noise and even metal are a bit weak. I'd rather kill people while listening to Gorguts or something rather than Wolf Eyes, not that I kill people, lol.

I listen to Wolf Eyes while I'm at school- in class. A lot of their stuff is actually quite calm for any "noise" music and almost relaxing.

@smallambulances: Look, compared to a lot of the stuff I listen to (not really noise), Wolf Eyes is like "brutal pop" or "harsh rock". There is a state of mind to listen to them in: the same state of mind you'd listen to Napalm Death, etc. But really, I'd listen to "Burned Mind" for the same reason I'd listen to a Beatles record. It's not that unaccessible, and not too complex either.

I can't imagine any state of mind in which I would enjoy listening to Wolf Eyes. To the fans, I have to ask: do you ever get home from work and think, "Man, I need to listen to some Wolf Eyes"?

"andrew w.k. went from pure experimental noise and wolf eyes to hosting a tv show on cartoon network...inconceivable" sounds like an upgrade

I simply adore these delightfully uncomplicated peasants and their PBR-infused cracker-barrel doodling.

Nowadays I don't know whether it's more hipster to love Wolf Eyes or hate Wolf Eyes. [2] !
