The Woolen Men are three – two Oregon natives and a Washingtonian.  They play punk influenced DIY music in the Pac-NW tradition of Dead Moon and the Wipers.  More than a sound or style, that means a kind of work ethic – do-it-yourself and do it a lot.  The band is happiest touring up and down the I-5 or bunkered in their practice space with the cassette 4-track rolling.  And it shows.  Live, the band is thunderous and energetic and the magnetic chemistry of the three of them playing together shines through in the recordings.
Today Noisey premiered the first music video for the title track, “Temporary Monument.”  The album, Temporary Monument, was released on Woodsist Records September 4.  Check out The Woolen Men on tour in September and October, updated dates tour below.
