The Woodland Hunters Debut EP

What we have here is some genuine backwoods rocket fuel. It’s been brewing for a couple of years in a Footscray shed. Nothing illegal mind you, though some nights it felt that good it probably should have been. The Woodland Hunters distil a heady mix of influences from 60’s guitar wig-outs to swamp rock, 70’s jam bands to raw’n’dusty Americana. The result is a clutch of rocking tunes collectively titled ‘So Far To Travel, So Far To Go’.
 
The four fellas that make up the band had a couple of ironclad rules when it came to recording their debut EP. ‘Nothing is forced, everything flows’ and ‘if you play from the heart, the songs will hug you back’. Producer Shane O’Mara provided a wise and inspired hand at the helm, and a wide sonic palette to match the ambition of the songs. He even kindly contributed some tripped out space-rock guitar to their track ‘The Future’.
 
Speaking of songs, the five that make up this EP cover journeys both physical and emotional. Maybe even spiritual. They’re about interesting lives, and the stories they create. There are tunes about femme fatales and jaded rockstars. There’s a song detailing a Machiavellian power grab, and another that’s a pitch black take on Darwinian evolution. Close listening will be rewarded.
 
These are new songs played with heart and soul, and there’s more where this came from.
 
So Far To Travel, So Far To Go. Call it a mission statement…

The Woodland Hunters love guitars. Snarling, overdriven ones. Warm, acoustic ones. Guitars that howl, whisper or tell a story. They also love pedals. Mostly of the fuzzy kind, but also reverbed, tremolo-ed or phased. Along with bass and drums, these are the elements they put together to make their songs. Songs about human frailty, hippie terrorists, mind games & scary clowns. If you also love guitars, The Woodland Hunters might just be your Next Favourite Band…
