Facing the End with a Beat: Goddamn Wolves’ “We’re Doomed”
There’s something magnetic about a song that dares to stare down despair and still sound like it’s having a good time. That’s exactly what Goddamn Wolves pull off with “We’re Doomed,” the sharp-tongued, high-energy opener from The DOOM EP. It’s a track that manages to bottle up modern anxiety, give it a knowing smirk, and set it loose on the dance floor.
From the jump, there’s a delicious tension—crunchy guitars slice through tight rhythms, and the dual vocals of Chris Weilding and Laura McCullough weave together in perfect contrast. There’s grit here, but also undeniable charm. You can hear echoes of ‘90s alt-rock greats, but this isn’t some nostalgia trip. This is fresh, alive, and speaking directly to now.
Lyrically, “We’re Doomed” walks a brilliant tightrope. It acknowledges the creeping dread so many of us feel—but doesn’t wallow in it. Instead, it shakes it off, shrugs, and says, “Let’s do something about it.” That message—quietly defiant, a little ironic, deeply human—is what makes this track feel like more than just a catchy tune.
In the sea of songs about the end of the world, Goddamn Wolves have carved out something different—an anthem for those still trying, still hoping, still making noise. And that, frankly, is worth turning the volume all the way up.
