Hear Two New Mammoth WVH Songs, "Don’t Back Down" and "Think It Over"
The music video for the former features six Wolfgang Van Halens – four playing the track, and two producing it.
Mammoth WVH – Wolfgang Van Halen's solo band – have released two new singles, "Don’t Back Down" and "Think It Over."
You can check out the entertaining music video for the former – which features four Wolfgang Van Halens rocking out and two Wolfgangs producing the track – above, and the audio for the latter below.
Taken from the band's self-titled debut album, the songs – like all tracks on the album – feature Wolfgang on every instrument, and follow the release of "You're to Blame" and the emotional Eddie Van Halen tribute, "Distance."
Though Van Halen alone appears on Mammoth WVH, he is joined – for live Mammoth WVH performances – by guitarists Frank Sidoris and Jon Jourdan, bassist Ronnie Ficarro, and drummer Garrett Whitlock.
Set for a June 11 release via EX1 Records/Explorer1 Music Group, Mammoth WVH is available for pre-order now in a number of formats: including digital, autographed CD, exclusive color vinyl, and more. You can check out its cover art and track list below.
