Bad Wolves
Sep 9, 2021
Los Angeles rockers Bad Wolves have fused unpredictable metallic intensity and impressive instrumental proficiency to arena-ready hooks, transforming themselves from underdogs into platinum-certified hard rock contenders. Since 2017, the core group of John Boecklin (drums), Doc Coyle (lead guitar, backing vocals), Chris Cain (rhythm guitar), and Kyle Konkiel (bass, backing vocals)—have consistently subverted expectations and accomplished the seemingly impossible.
In 2018, the band earned a platinum plaque, topped iTunes, and were #1 at Active Rock for three weeks straight. This momentum also propelled their debut album "Disobey" to a Top 25 debut on the Billboard Top 200. In between performing to sold out audiences on multiple continents with heavyweights such as Five Finger Death Punch and Megadeth, 2019’s "N.A.T.I.O.N." yielded their fifth straight #1 at Active Rock with the single “Sober,” and brought their total stream tally past the half-billion mark.
At the beginning of 2021, lead singer Tommy Vext quit the band and Bad Wolves welcomed Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz—previously of The Acacia Strain—as lead vocalist, ushering in a new chapter with their third full-length offering "Dear Monsters" on Better Noise Music coming on October 29th. The lead single from the new LP is the Rock Anthem "Lifeline."
