:Lets make the Wolfmens new single the Christmas number one!!!
“For thirty years Fairytale of New York has dominated the Christmas playlists and festive radio for anyone looking for hardcore
Christmas whimsey. But Jackie, is it my Birthday? is a worthy contender to The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's throne. It's like the sequel that never was, with all the Dickensian swagger and spine-tingling Irish atmosphere you'd expect.”
Cadiz Music ( Tini Tempeh/Madness/Wilko etc label and makers of Oil City Confidential ) are releasing The Wolfmen's "Jackie, is it My Birthday? featuring Sinéad O'Connor " on 5th dec as a christmas single ....
THE WOLFMEN feat. SINÉAD O'CONNOR:
JACKIE, IS IT MY BIRTHDAY?
Artist: The Wolfmen feat. Sinead O'Connor
Title: Jackie, is it my Birthday?
Release date : 5th dec
Label: CADIZ
Track: Jackie, is it my Birthday?
The Wolfmen are back, and this time they're armed and dangerous...
Jackie, is it my birthday? is a brand new, spine-tingling duet between Sinéad O'Connor and Chris Constantinou of The Wolfmen.
It's also the biggest, grittiest ballad you'll hear this year and has already received radio support from Chris Hawkins , Lauren Laverne, Gary Crowley and David Quantick.
A-listed on NME Radio six weeks running in January for Cecilie from their debut album, this is the christmas release from The Wolfmen's prolific 2010 sessions with The Dandy Warhols' Courtney Taylor-Taylor in the producer's chair.
The Wolfmen is the brainchild of Marco Pirroni (Siouxsie & The Banshees/Adam & The Ants) and Chris Constantinou (Adam Ant/Annebella Lwin/JackieOnAssid) and also features percussion Zelig Preston Heyman (Massive Attack, Kate Bush). As FHM says, “There’d be no Sugar Ray, Nine Inch Nails or Robbie Williams without these boys.”
Or as Courtney Taylor-Taylor says of his new charges, “These guys are f*cking brilliant... I guess The Wolfmen just sound like heavy weights because they are.“ and
ROLLING STONE
devotes half a page to the single, declaring it “A spunky mix… Jackie breezes through with it’s uplifting swirl. Great production and a sweeping string set sustained through the track, the song’s rock rage is wrapped in an ethereal halo.”
A brand new album will follow in the new year.
