If you visit Wolfmother’s MySpace page, there is an appropriate band listed under their influences.

Right at the top of the list are The Muppets – that band with Animal on drums. It’s appropriate because the word that best describes Animal is chaotic. Check out a review of the self-titled Wolfmother album and odds are you’ll come across that very same description.

Wolfmother, the Australian trio, have hit it big right off the gate. The album is already five times platinum in Australia and the song “Woman” earned the band a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Wolfmother became the first Australian band in 25 years to win a Grammy.

andPOP caught up with Wolfmother drummer Myles Heskett to talk about the big Grammy win, international success, the band’s Muppets influence, the next step, and much more.
