Wolfmother are a band from Erskineville, Sydney, Australia. Their music is often described as stoner or psychedelic rock. Comparisons are often drawn with bands such as Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and Kyuss.

In 2005, the band made their way to LA, working alongside producer Dave Sardy (of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Marilyn Manson and Oasis fame) to record their much-hyped self-titled debut album, released in October 2005.
The first single to be released was " Mind's Eye", making its debut on the Australian music charts at 29.
The debut self-titled album debuted at #3 on the Australian Charts.
Wolfmother won the 2005 J Award , an award handed out by the Australian youth radio network Triple J for the best Australian album of the year, and completed the year with Falls Festival appearances.
In 2006 they played their second Big Day Out tour and in Feburary will release their second single, White Unicorn.
They achieved a record breaking six songs in the 2005 Triple J Hottest 100, with Mind's Eye their highest entry at #6. This breaks the record of five songs previously held by Queens Of The Stone Age, Silverchair, The White Stripes and Powderfinger.
