excerpt from Under a Thunder Moon now available on amazon.com.
Tyler Watts pounded the drums like tribal thunder
under Mike Vans dark cloud bass line. The power of this
double trouble rhythm section intertwined together
entrancing the crowd gathered in front of the stage at The
Sundown Club. Long Island’s hottest Rock Club. This
hypnotic blues groove fanned the flames that stirred the
boiling humid and smoky air. The room was alive with the
turbulent electric currents that make men and women want
to fight or fuck.
Jim Wolf let out an animalistic howl followed by quick
flashes of lighting fast riffs off his black Fender guitar.
The crowd like heated savages attending a human sacrifice
howled back at Jim, as the groove built to an orgasmic
climax, and fell to a barely audible hush. The Howlers had
taken the stage like new reigning Gods prepared to leave
awestruck followers in the wake of their sonic carnage.
Jim approached the microphone with the cool confidence of
a seasoned rock star, and sang the opening line to The
Howlers new song Satisfied.
“You’ve done me wrong… now there is only one way to put
things right.
You’ve done me wrong little girl… now there is only one way
to put things right.”
Then Jim quickly searched through the audience and found
who he was looking for; the inspiration for this new song. He
locked eyes with his girlfriend Alyssa and held her there
within his fiery glare, and growled the last line of the
chorus.
“That’s with you dead and gone...
That’s the only way I’ll be Satisfied.”

“That’s with you dead and gone...
That’s the only way I’ll be Satisfied.”
Alyssa shook with terror at the sadistic smirk on Jim’s face
as his threat reverberated throughout her body sending
chills down her spine. She wondered if he found out that she
had been unfaithful, or was it her own guilt eating away at
her. Jim’s words to this new song frightened her more and
more as he continued to sing…
“I am going to take you to the Old Pine Barons, by the light
of the thunder moon.
I’m gonna take you to the Ol’ Pine Barons baby, by the light
of the thunder moon.
There’s no need to worry your pretty head lil’ girl, cause this
will all be over soon….”
Jim’s guitar screamed bloody murder as he bent the high E
into a rapturous guitar solo. The crowd was driven by the
pulse of the rhythm into a manic frenzy found in orgies or
riots, with each note dictating the audience’s actions. Tyler
threw in a wicked drum fill and broke it down making the
next verse more demonically dramatic, as Jim described
what he was going to do to his unfaithful lover.
“I got a .38 pistol and a bottle of gasoline.
I got a .38 pistol baby, and a bottle of gasoline.
I’m gonna shoot you down… shoot you down lil’ girl.”
Then the music stopped and Jim leered at Alyssa and
pointed his fingers at her like a gun. As he pretended to pull
the trigger he sang...
“I’m gonna shoot you down… and burn your remains.”
Tyler’s drum fill led them back into the chorus bringing the
song to an angrier stomp as Jim raged into the microphone.
“You’ve done me wrong… now there’s only one way to put
things right.
You’ve done me wrong… now there’s only one way to put
things right.
That’s with you dead and gone…”
The music stops and Jim sings the last line with low bluesy
Morrison-esque growl.
“That’s the only way… I’ll be satisfied.”
A sonic boom fills the club as The Howlers finish the song
with a classic Rock-N-Roll ending, which leads into there next
song of the set Turn Away.
