WOLF JAW drop new video for SHOULDA, WOULDA, COULDA
“This song was was written about the theft of our van last year, it was also the first song musically that was written for ‘The Heart Won’t Listen” but also the last to get lyrics. When the van was stolen along with all of our gear we had a huge outpouring of support, it was incredible really all the offers of help, gear loans, messages from far and wide. There was also a crowed fund set up by one or two of our fans and this is really a big thank you to all of the people that donated to that.
There were also a fair few people tell us what we should have done, what they would of done and what we could have done.. hence the title and some of the lyrics. Its definitely a song of defiance that shows that it’ll take more than that to stop us. The riffs are heavy and the groove swings, Its one of our favorites to play live for sure.” – Tom Leighton, Vocals
