For fans of Wolf Alice
Wolf Alice fans land here for the female-fronted dynamics — the swing from quiet to loud, the emotional intensity carried by the vocal. The shared territory: alt rock that uses contrast as a tool and a frontwoman who anchors the song. The contrast: Wolf Alice range across dream-pop, grunge, and shoegaze textures, while The Filibusters stay more consistently direct and hook-forward, with less studio atmosphere and more live-room grit. If the rawer, guitar-driven side of Wolf Alice is the draw, that's the side The Filibusters live on.
Hanna Eyre carries the same kind of vocal weight that Ellie Rowsell brings to Wolf Alice's best songs — the performance is doing real emotional work, not just delivering a melody. The Filibusters don't have Wolf Alice's textural range, but they don't need it; the directness is the point.
Catch them at Velour in Provo and the live show will make sense — a room that size is where that kind of frontwoman energy lands hardest.
