ISSUE Radio: Wolf Eyes

Legendary Michigan trio Wolf Eyes create harsh and hypnotic electronic landscapes, merging the frenzied energy of hardcore with the nihilistic menace of early industrial and noise. This full set was recorded as part of ISSUE Project Room's summer 2013 concert series at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Constantly touring in the early 2000s, Wolf Eyes has forged a cult fan base and opened the hermetic world of the noise underground to a new generation of curious indie rockers, punks, and experimentalists. The band began as a solo project for noise veteran Nate Young, with Aaron Dilloway and John Olson. Dilloway left the band in 2005, and Mike Connolly of Hair Police has rounded out the trio since. 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 Tapeslabel, Dilloway’s Hanson Records and, most recently, Mike Connelly’s Gods of Tundra label.
