Immediate comparisons will be drawn to fellow Scottish compatriots The Xcerts or even the stadium-sized Biffy Clyro but this band is more than just another alternative rock band with a funny accent.<\/p>\n<p>The EP opens with title track,<em> \u2018Cope.\u2019<\/em> From the outset it is a cacophony of catchy lyrics and melodic, early-Tellison style hooks. Grooving and poppy, but with a razor-sharp edge, it is a bitter pill wrapped in a sugary sweet outer layer. This sets the tone for the rest of the EP.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>&amp;amp;lt;a href=&ldquo;http:\/\/wecamefromwolves.bandcamp.com\/album\/cope&rdquo; data-mce-href=&ldquo;http:\/\/wecamefromwolves.bandcamp.com\/album\/cope&rdquo;&amp;amp;gt;COPE by WECAMEFROMWOLVES&amp;amp;lt;\/a&amp;amp;gt;<\/p>\n<p>Next up is <em>\u2018Crosses,\u2019<\/em> a more brooding affair, sharper and more intense in its\u2019 focus, calling to mind Brand New. Intricate guitar melodies mix with a desperate and passionate vocal to create a truly mesmerising track, something of jaw-dropping quality for a band so young in their career.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018Blood\u2019<\/em> is the third track on the EP, and the track with the most out-and-out catchy chorus. It is by far the strongest track on the EP, with hints of Taking Back Sunday\u2019s anthem-sized hooks and emotional lyrics. This is extremely powerful and compelling song writing, and<em> \u2018Tidals\u2019<\/em> is another example of this, as it washes over and beguiles.<\/p>\n<p>Closing the EP is<em> \u2018For All Our Sins, We\u2019re Golden,\u2019<\/em> which does not constitute a dip in intensity at all and includes the simply delicious couplet <em>\u201coh honey bee, you\u2019re killing me.\u201d<\/em> This is a full and complete EP with no filler tracks on. It is hard to distinguish a favourite because it is just such a consistently brilliant EP.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lyrical and musical urgency to this EP that speaks of a band more mature than these young Scots are. I can speak only in the highest esteem of <strong>WeCameFromWolves<\/strong>, and although they should figure out where the space bar is on their keyboards, they surely are destined to gain a lot more exposure and success in the near future. <em>\u2018Cope\u2019<\/em> is an absolutely essential bit of listening from a band that will undoubtedly explode in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>4\/5<\/p>\n<p><em>&lsquo;Cope&rsquo;<\/em> EP by\u00a0<strong>WeCameFromWolves<\/strong> is available now on\u00a0<strong>Engineer\u00a0Records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WeCameFromWolves<\/strong> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wecamefromwolves\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCFWmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/wecamefromwolves.bandcamp.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Tom White (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/whiteywitters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@whiteywitters<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WeCameFromWolves are a four piece post-rock band from Perth, Scotland. \u2018Cope\u2019 is their d\u00e9but EP, released on Engineer records and speaks of a band with limitless potential, youthful energy and a bright future ahead.
