Wolfgang Van Halen’s Top Of The Pack SiriusXM Radio Program Debuts This Month On Classic Rewind
(New York, NY) – The day has finally come as the self-titled debut by Mammoth WVH is now available worldwide via EX1 Records/ Explorer1 Music Group. The record – from its creative mastermind Wolfgang Van Halen – showcases the incredible musicianship and songwriting of Wolfgang as he plays every instrument and sings every vocal on the record. Fans have been able to experience the direction of the album through the six previously released tracks: “Distance,” “You’re To Blame,” “Don’t Back Down,” “Think It Over,” “Feel” and “Mammoth.“ The band just released a live video of the current Top 15 Rock single “Don’t Back Down” that showcases the live band Wolfgang has assembled to bring the debut album to life. Supporting Wolfgang – who will handle guitar and vocals live – is guitarists Frank Sidoris and Jon Jourdan, bassist Ronnie Ficarro and drummer Garrett Whitlock. The live performance video for “Don’t Back Down” can be seen here: http://found.ee/DontBackDownLive.

The songwriter, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist worked tirelessly on material that would become his debut album – scheduled for release in 2021 via EX1 Records as a part of his partnership with Explorer1 Music Group. Playing every instrument and singing each and every note, his music presents a personal and powerful perspective, balancing memorable hooks and tight technicality. As many times as audiences have experienced his talent alongside the likes of Tremonti, Clint Lowery, and of course, Van Halen, Wolfgang prepares to step into the spotlight with his own brand – Mammoth WVH – for the very first time now.
