I have to admit that one of my favourite guitarists of the '80's was Marco Pirroni. Check out those Adam and the Ants records - great swathes of noise married with a Morricone twang. Back in the '90's Pirroni assisted Sinead O Connor with her mega hit 'Nothing Compares to U'. Finally she has returned the favour by singing on the new single by his band The Wolfmen called 'Jackie is it my Birthday?' now i'm a bit of an 80's kid at heart so you'll have to give me a bit of artistic license with this but i really liked it! A good little pop tune with some nice backwards guitars in it. Catchy as hell."There'd be no Sugar Ray, Nine Inch Nails or Robbie Williams without these boys." FHM / "Marco Pirroni is one of the finest guitartists to come out of the UK punk scene: fact." Classic Rock / “Steeped in the space-age glam boogie of Bowie and T Rex with a bit of Iggy-in-Berlin thrown in… infernally catchy.” Mojo / “A swaggering, snarling set of glam garage punk and bangrha break beats…” Word / "The tunes that are blowing the office speakers this month..." Big Cheese / Jackie, Is It My Birthday? is the first single from The Wolfmen’s new album “Married To The Eiffel Tower” out 19th October. Wolfmen is the band from Marco Pironni guitars and Chris Constantinou vocals and bass. Jackie Is It My Birthday is packed full of stunningly crafted, radio-friendly riffs, unforgettable melodies and features the great Sinead O'Connor. (The Wolfmen are also co writing and playing on Sineads forthcoming album, which promises to be the crunchiest since Marco worked with her on I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. “Jackie Is It My Birthday” is a superb rock pop, original retro modern age tune. Blessed with the Midas production touch of Courtney Taylor-Taylor from the Dandy Warhols, who also features on “The Cowboys Dream” from upcoming album”Married To The Eiffel Tower”. Forget The Wolfmen’s soundtrack work (controversial Britflick Dogging being only part of it), their incredible collaborations (and you really would like to hear their recordings with Indian superstar Daler Mehndi) or the 6 weeks spent on NME radio’s A-list and continuous support from Jonathan Ross, Zane Lowe, Marc Riley, Gary Crowley. Remember just this, The Wolfmen are a muscular musical force to be reckoned with and “Jackie, Is It My Birthday?” is their extraordinary tour-de force.
