About Me

Wolves in the Attic just finished recording their debut LP "Electronic Hearts" with Patrick Fleming (The Poison Control Center, Bi-Fi Records) and Patrick Stolley (DAYTROTTER, Future Appletree). Look for it in the coming months of summer.
Wolves in the Attic came about when Eric Moffitt and Nick Parks met by chance on a mutual friends couch. Nick was fresh off a bus from chicago after a stint in film school. They looked deep into each other's magical eyes and decided to form a band. This band was very short lived. Three years later, Eric was looking to form a band and needed a bassist. He remembered where Nick was living and went and drug him out of bed to come practice. Trent was in Florida, and when he came back, he too had the magical gaze, he was an instant fit on drums. Justin's gaze was stronger than the rest of them combined and he magically transported himself from "The Coffin Flyz" (NICK too) and finished out the brutal rhythm section.
Some people we've played with: Neva Dinova, Ladyhawk, Oh My God, Casper and the Cookies, The Poison Control Center, Yeasayer, These Are Powers..... blah, blah, blah, blah
Death Metal Roze says: "sounded like a cross between the least noisy Sonic Youth and all your favorites of British post-punk."
Someone else said: "dirty rock 'n roll"
