EDDIE & THE WOLVES – Tasty Sin (2024)
UK bluesy hard rockers EDDIE & THE WOLVES are set to release their new album, “Tasty Sin,” on September 13, 2024, under Revolver Records.
Rooted deeply in the rich tapestry of classic rock, ”Tasty Sin” pays homage to the greats where blues-infused guitar riffs weave with powerful melodies. However EDDIE & THE WOLVES music isn’t a nostalgic clone of the past. The album incorporates modern elements that infuse synthesizers and contemporary production techniques fusing the old and the new.
And what a delightful surprise this Derby-based act is. These talented and hard-rocking blues rockers conjure up a massive amount of groove and countless golden hooks on this refreshing and robust 9-song record of theirs, and the whole thing is literally a treasure trove of strong, bouncy riffs and superb vocal melodies – all of which is underpinned by a solid rhythm section – and not least the right amount of dramatic panache to make the tunes truly captivating.
We’re promised foot-stomping anthems like album title track ‘Tasty Sin’ and ‘Voodoo’ demanding to be played at full volume, to the intimate ballads like ‘One Night’ and ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’ that tug at the heartstrings.
But all starts with the pretty killer openr ‘The Devil’s Wrong, But Not to Blame’, a track that immediately grabs your attention with its two-sided multi-track guitar riffs and powerful vocals.

“Blood Runs Cold” is a hard-hitting track that features some of the album’s most intense guitar work. Cain Paisley’s contributions on guitar are particularly notable here, with blistering sound that adds a raw, edgy feel. Eddie’s vocals convey a sense of anger, perfectly matched by the instrumentation. This track is a powerful reminder of the band’s rock roots. A highlight.
“Different Kinda Girl” is nothing short of an infectiously catchy gem that is impossible not to worship. The song’s melody highlights the versatility of Eddie & The Wolves.
“One Night” slows up the pace again with a beat and smooth guitar. The song’s narrative of a fleeting romantic encounter is delivered with a sense of excitement. Joe Griffiths’ bass lines provide a solid foundation, while Ben Gaines’ drumming drives the track forward with energy. This is a perfect track for a slow wind down to a unforgettable night.
“Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us” is a empowering track that showcases the band’s spirit. The anthemic chorus and cool lyrics make it a standout song that is sure to resonate with listeners.
