Mike Vallely’s career had taken yet another road today as his band Revolution Mother has signed to Ferret Music.

Vallely says of the band’s sound “I think we really found our groove as a band with the last three or four songs we recorded on the last record and we found our groove live playing the Warped Tour (2007). At the end of the day we are a rock n roll band. We have hardcore, punk and metal influences but really we’re just playing overdriven blues.”

The album called aptly titled “ROLLIN’ WITH THA MUTHA” is out on July 6th.

Eels are back with a new record but is it going to be a belter? Find out more from this video about the making of the new album Hombre Lobo here.
