Life is all about growth and showing new sides of yourself, and Ollie Wolfe is doing just that with his latest, “The Way They Fought.” Coming through with a bit more of an edge on this one than we’ve heard before, this is a song that could have been plucked from the mainstream alt-scene in the early ‘90s and placed in the here and now with fans of bands like U2 and Muse vibing.
Not too long ago in 2020, Ollie Wolfe dropped his debut single, “Planet Earth.” It served a little Southwest, a little singer-songwriter with melodious moments throughout. That singer-songwriter feel carried through to his last single, “Walling Up.” It’s been a couple of years since those and in that time, it seems like this artist has sought to expand their horizons. “The Way They Fought” celebrates the idea of life and that survival spirit in a way that blends ‘80s undertones with today’s indie rock, with a dash of Genesis at the end to wrap it up in a neat bow. He wrote this with the “displaced” in mind and wanted to do more than just look down with pity, but rather lift them through song and that is a mission complete.
There is unmatched confidence in what Ollie Wolfe does that also helps guide this song to new heights. Listeners will hear his unapologetic prowess and yearn for more before “The Way They Fought” has reached the end.
