Wolfmother mainman Andrew Stockdale believes rock is enjoying an upsurge in popularity and that the genre has a bright future.
The Australian rockers released their fourth album Victorious earlier this year and Stockdale says he only needs to look at his own band’s audience to see that rock is thriving.
He tells WikiMetal: “I think that people who love rock’n’roll seem to love it even more now. They seem like they wanna see it continue and grow. It’s nice.
“People who come to Wolfmother gigs, whatever kind of music they’re into – whether it’s electro, pop, folk, metal – they usually like it. They walk away and they get it. There’s something in it for everyone.”
The singer/guitarist adds that rock is one of the few genres that appeal to people of all ages.
He says: “Since we started we’ve had all kinds – young and old, kids to grandparents and 20-somethings out there partying. It’s always been a bit of everything. The last few gigs we’ve played I’ve noticed a new wave of the new 20-year-old kids who are getting into it.”
Wolfmother’s 2016 touring schedule continues with a show in London on Wednesday (April 20).
