    [PREVIEW] Ep1.2 (Pilot): Lightning Threads go Between the Grooves of DeWolff's "Muscle Shoals"

    FULL EDIT AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY ON PATREON [scroll to the bottom of the post] A bonus (pilot) episode! This time testing out our feature 'Between the Grooves' where we dig deep on a favourite album. This week, DeWolff's incredible "Muscle Shoals". A must-have contemporary album from the Netherlands' finest. DeWolff is an explosive Dutch psychedelic blues-rock trio formed in 2007 by teenage brothers Pablo (guitar/vocals) and Luka van de Poel (drums/vocals) with Robin Piso (Hammond organ). Known for their high-energy, vintage-inspired sound and prolific, road-hardened style, they have released 10 albums and won the Edison Award for 'Best Rock' in 2019. https://www.dewolff.nu
