In 2004 Wolfmother began appearing at several high profile music events, such as Homebake and the Big Day Out. They also released their debut self-titled EP through Modular Recordings.
In 2005 the band made their way to Los Angeles, working alongside producer Dave Sardy (of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Marilyn Manson, and Oasis fame) to record their self-titled debut album, released in October 2005.
In 2006 Wolfmother dominated the Australian Recording Industry Association awards (ARIAs), taking Best Breakthrough Album, Best Rock Album, and Best Group.
In August 2008, after headlining the Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay, Australia, bass/keyboard player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett resigned, leaving just singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale. Andrew planned to find new musicians before recording another album.
From February 2009 the new line up appeared in two secret gigs under the name Whitefeather. The band officially consists of Dave Atkins on drums, Ian Peres on bass and organ, and Aidan Nemeth as the surprise fourth member and a new guitarist. The new line up's first album, Cosmic Egg, was released in 2009.
Now drummer Dave Atkins has decided to leave the band to spend more time at home with his family; he will be temporarily be replaced by The Mooney Suzuki and Har Mar Superstar drummer Will Rockwell-Scott.

Wolfmother Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could walk into the fields to see where it begun,
She could be the answer to your everything,
She could take you anywhere that you have never been.
Staggered along,
Into the crowd,
Could not be define,
Beneath the crowd,
Drinking her wine.
And all along,
The answer to everything,
And all along,
It's another way out,
I'm only looking for a way out,
They're only looking for the way out.
Would you like to walk into the kingdoms of the sun?
We could walk into the fields to see where it begun,
She could be the answer to your everything,
She could take you anywhere that you have never been, oh.
Staggered along,
Into the crowd,
Could not define,
She's sitting down,
Beneath the crowd,
Drinking her wine.
And all along,
It's another way out,
And all along,
It's another way out,
They're only looking for the way out,
They're only looking for the way out.
Would you like to go into the kingdoms of the sun?
The lyrics of Wolfmother's "In the Castle" suggest a sense of adventure and wonder. The opening lines "Would you like to walk into the kingdoms of the sun? / We could walk into the fields to see where it begun," entice the listener to follow the singer on a journey through uncharted territory. The singer offers a potential guide, a woman who "could be the answer to your everything / She could take you anywhere that you have never been." The lyrics can be interpreted as a call to seize opportunities and explore new possibilities, with the possibility of finding fulfillment in the process.
As the song progresses, the singer describes encountering the woman in a crowded place, where she is "drinking her wine" and seems to be in a contemplative state. The repeated refrain "all along, it's another way out" suggests that both the singer and the woman are seeking an escape from their current circumstances. The final lines "They're only looking for the way out / Would you like to go into the kingdoms of the sun?" leave the song open-ended, inviting the listener to imagine their own adventure and potential escape.

Castles

Chris Planke
insane song luv the solo!
deschrimpf
definetly best song on the album with "far away" (personal opinion)
simonjeste
Wolfmother is really seeming to get recognized as "classic rock" that is brand new... obviously there's a huge gap in the market right now, need more bands out there who sound like authentic ROCK instead of just formula.

@danbaxley I'm a huge Wolfmother fan and I can definitely hear Zeppelin influences in their music. It's the furthest thing from a bad thing. I love Led Zeppelin, and it's good that these guys are brining back the 70's hard rock to the 21st century. It's truly refreshing to know that some people like to play 40 year old music too.
Dave Wessling
The beginning reminds me of Where Eagles Have Been (not bad at all), but from around 2:00 the song kicks ass, especially the solo at the end =D
Jesse moffa
BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR BY FAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
