Originally formed in 1984, the band released a series of demos on cassette before their 7" vinyl debut Clutching at Straws in 1988. This was swiftly followed by the Wasted But Dangerous 12" EP in the same year. They were highly regarded live performers and eventually caught the attention of Rick Rubin's Def American label, but their debut full length album (Live Fast, Die Fast in 1989) saw little commercial success, oft-attributed to Rubin's very flat production. Their later releases saw more favourable press, with their live album Massive Noise Injection being particularly well received. They split up when their singer Blaze Bayley left to join Iron Maiden in 1994.
Wolfsbane reformed in September 2007 to headline the Rock of Ages Festival in their hometown of Tamworth and followed this with a short tour in December of the same year, as special guests supporting The Wildhearts. More live dates followed in December 2010 as guests on The Quireboys' "A Little Bit of What You Fancy" 20th anniversary tour, and they also self-released a 'best of' compilation album.
It is believed that the band are now working on new material with a view to recording their 5th studio album in the second half of 2010. The as yet untitled album is likely to surface in 2011, with a possible tour and festival appearances to support it. Further updates will be posted to the band's official website, www.wolfsbanehms.com.
Loco
Wolfsbane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my wheels are turning fast.
Won't you be my hitch hiker?
Climb aboard while you still can!
Darlin' this trucks a sly bitch,
I can't let it slow down.
I got dreams packed up and loaded and I'm headed out of town!
Baby the city's calling!
Ready for a guy like me!
See the pretty starlight twinkle like a poor boys fantasy.
Renegade! High Roller! I'm Loco, Loco - motion!
About the sweetest smile I've ever seen,
her eyes are shining there,
there for me!
Renegade! High Roller! I'm Loco, Loco - motion!
About the sweetest smile I've ever seen.
The song "Loco" by Wolfsbane appears to be a classic road trip anthem, with lyrics that celebrate the freedom of the open road and the thrill of adventure. The song starts off with the singer announcing that his truck is on the move, inviting the listener to come along for the ride. He describes his truck as a "sly bitch" that won't slow down, revealing his determination to keep moving forward, and to pursue his dreams no matter what.
As the song progresses, we see the singer getting more and more excited about the road ahead, describing the city as calling out to him and the stars twinkling like a dream come true. He declares himself a "renegade" and a "high roller," reveling in the feeling of freedom that comes with taking off on a wild and crazy adventure.
However, the song also has a softer side. In the midst of all the excitement and energy, the singer takes a moment to reflect on the beauty of the woman with whom he is sharing the journey. He describes her sweet smile and shining eyes, suggesting that she is the true source of his joy and inspiration. In this way, the song seems to be celebrating both the thrill of the open road and the power of human connection, the way that shared experiences can bring people together and create a sense of wonder and awe.
