Released on August 25, Renegades is the most recent album by American blues rock group Porno Wolves, from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Almost forty seven minutes long, the album has ten tracks: In the Garden, Winter's Night, Riddles in the Dark, Bad Man, Renegades, Young Moon Rising, Swamp Stomp, Sierra Negra, The Road Goes Ever On and Gasoline. A very traditional blues rock album, certainly Renegades can be qualified as a very interesting work. With strong melodies, a relatively original approach to the genre and a peculiar sonorous style that draws an expressive and cohesive thin line between antagonistically rude, but seemingly precious rock’n’roll, and a more pop flavored, distinct and graceful rhythmic outlook – that reminded me acts as disparate as The Strokes, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Porno Wolves has a consistent, but versatile organic flow, emotional and sincere on the surface, but artistically dilapidated and profusely elemental, in the shapeless bottom of its deep vastness. 

With arranged and beautiful harmonies, that give rise to wonderfully captivating saxophone introspections, as well as splendorous and insurgent guitar solos, Porno Wolves really has made a curious, elegant and sophisticated album. With soul and meaning, their art is full of abrasive and delicate nuances, that exhibit passionate melodies, able to achieve the high standards they obviously imposed over them. With an obvious attention to technical detail, they also excel in the aspect of a clean and distinct sound, that masterfully perfected the marvelous definition of their music.    

Despite a great collection of overwhelming qualities, the album gets far from being qualified as a masterpiece. With a sound that sometimes sounds vague, with excessively similar and uniform passages, their creative capacities sometimes appears to be stagnant in a formulaic zone of musical process. 

Nevertheless, Renegades is definitely a good album, and Porno Wolves is a group that has originality. With potential, formidable writing skills, and a pungent musical style, they remember a little wild, decadent, melancholic, but brave midnight pubs and nightclub bands, that you don’t expect too much when you see them onstage, until they started to play. Then, you see things differently.
