The band has previously garnered five #1-charting active rock radio singles throughout the span of their career. DIE ABOUT IT is available now on digital download, CD, cassette and multiple color vinyl variants at https://badwolves.ffm.to/dieaboutit.

To kick off 2024, BAD WOLVES shared a new song earlier this year featuring scream vocals from new member Rebello, “Knife” which can be streamed across all platforms at https://badwolves.ffm.to/knife. It has since received one million streams and over 100k views for its official lyric video (seen HERE).

Nearing 1.8 billion global streams and over 750 million video views, BAD WOLVES have sold out headline shows on multiple continents and toured with everyone from Papa Roach and Hollywood Undead to Volbeat. The band will continue to rise the bar with new music and tour dates throughout 2024.

Platinum-certified hard rock outfit BAD WOLVES have sharpened their sound with the scathing new single “Knife,” out today, January 26, via Better Noise Music across digital platforms. The track features scream vocals from vocalist/guitarist AJ Rebollo (ex-ISSUES), who recently appeared on tour filling in on guitars for Bad Wolves on their winter 2023 tour dates with Bush and Eva Under Fire. BAD WOLVES—John Boecklin [drums], Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz [lead vocals], Doc Coyle [lead guitar, backing vocals] and Kyle Konkiel [bass, backing vocals]—are now excited to announce Rebollo will continue to tour with the band and has been officially made a full-time band member. Watch a lyric video for “Knife” streaming below or via YouTube HERE. Stream/download “Knife” at https://badwolves.ffm.to/knife.

“Feels good to be able to be the kind of band that one day works on a ballad and the next works on a song that is this heavy,” shares DL. “Sometimes it’s fun to ‘prove’ that you can still write an ass beater. It’s exciting to be able to incorporate another powerful dynamic into Bad Wolves arsenal with AJ’s vocal style and riffs.”

“I’m very stoked that I’ve been given the opportunity of joining up with the legends in Bad Wolves,” exclaims AJ. :I’ve been a fan of each of their bands since my early teens, so to say I’m honored to be playing with them would be an understatement. Each and every one of these guys brings something to the table that I’ve looked up to for many years. I had the amazing opportunity to get into the studio recently and work on the new track ‘Knife’ with them, and I’m very pumped for everyone to hear the vocals we put together. Cheers to the future!”

BAD WOLVES’ latest effort, 2023’s DIE ABOUT IT, redefined the band’s sound by stretching the boundaries of hard rock with earthquaking heaviness, enigmatic experimentation, and enthralling melodies. Lauded as “pure musical gold…unpredictable, bold, and uniquely innovative” (Heavy Mag), DIE ABOUT IT is “an album that offers something for everyone,” states mxdwn.

The album’s first official radio single “Legends Never Die,” a song dedicated to the heroes in life whose legacies will continue to be shared to future generations, is currently ascending the rock radio charts and has landed in the Top 10, currently at #7. To date it’s over 631k views for its empowering music video (seen HERE). The band has previously garnered five #1-charting active rock radio singles throughout the span of their career.

DIE ABOUT IT is available in the US on digital download, CD, cassette or various vinyl color variants at https://badwolves.ffm.to/dieaboutit. The band has recently added new vinyl and CD bundles with exclusive merch designs via the Better Noise Music EU / UK store. Bundles are available HERE.

ABOUT BAD WOLVES
BAD WOLVES arrived with the rarity and the force of a lightning bolt in 2018. This collective of tried-and-true musicians rallied around an unconventional vision for heavy music, grafting rafter-reaching hooks to pit-splitting riffs and mind-bending rhythms with a penchant for unexpected twists and turns. Their full-length debut, Disobey, bowed in the Top 25 of the Billboard 200 and delivered a platinum single and a gold single. On its heels, they showed no signs of stopping with N.A.T.I.O.N. [2019]. However, Dear Monsters kickstarted another season in 2021 as “Lifeline” netted their sixth #1 at Active Rock Radio. Reaching a critical high watermark, Billboard hailed the latter as “Bad Wolves’ most diverse and far-reaching album to date,” and Hysteria raved, “The band has served up something truly monumental.” Nearing 1.8 billion global streams and over 750 million video views, they sold out headline shows on multiple continents and toured with everyone from Papa Roach and Hollywood Undead to Volbeat.

Platinum-certified, 5x #1 Hard Rock radio-charting Los Angeles group BAD WOLVES get personal on their new album DIE ABOUT IT, out today, November 3, via Better Noise Music. The Los Angeles-based group—John Boecklin [drums], Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz [lead vocals], Doc Coyle [lead guitar, backing vocals] and Kyle Konkiel [bass, backing vocals]— deliver 13 tracks of earthquaking heaviness and distinctive melodies on DIE ABOUT IT while experimenting and redefining their sound including nods to inspirations as diverse as The 1975 and Meshuggah. Co-produced with Josh Gilbert (As I Lay Dying) alongside Boecklin and DL, BAD WOLVES tackle themes of dismissing bullies and trolls, dissolving toxic friendships, and dealing with loss and addiction with unconstraint. DIE ABOUT IT is available now on digital download, CD, cassette and multiple color vinyl variants at https://badwolves.ffm.to/dieaboutit.

“From the artwork to the music our new album feels more personal,” says Boecklin. “This album is about us surviving through lawsuits, the member changes, the online hate, and the false narratives. We wanna bring back the energy of us making music because we want to, not all the other crap. The album title is a sarcastic statement towards those debating online in turmoil, defending or pushing their own beliefs to the point of absurdity. If you’re gonna cry about it, then you might as well ‘Die About It.’ Leave us out of it.”

BAD WOLVES have today shared a lyric video for their anthemic new single, “Savior,” a track written about someone being there for you in your time of need. Watch it now streaming below or HERE. The group’s first official radio single, “Legends Never Die,” is currently in the Top 20 on the Active Rock radio charts and rising. To date, it has garnered over 1 million streams and 344k video views.

“This album is like having your cake and eating it too.  Bad Wolves have mastered an accessible blend of big rock choruses paired with exciting metal riffs… and I’m here for it.”
– Jonny Hawkins (Nothing More)

The band will hit the road later this Fall with British rock icons BUSH on their “Nothing To Go But Everywhere” North American tour alongside labelmates Eva Under Fire from November 14 to December 6. BAD WOLVES have announced a series of headlining shows before and after the tour with support from Eva Under Fire and Uncured. See full dates listed below.

BAD WOLVES refuse to follow. Instead, the platinum-certified, 5x #1 Hard Rock radio- charting Los Angeles band circumvent convention by stretching the boundaries of hard rock with earthquaking heaviness, enigmatic experimentation, and enthralling melodies. The group–John Boecklin (drums), Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz (lead vocals), Doc Coyle (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Kyle Konkiel (bass, backing vocals)— are starting a new chapter on their own terms with their fourth full-length album DIE ABOUT IT due November 3 via BETTER NOISE MUSIC. Nodding to inspirations as diverse as The 1975 and Meshuggah. BAD WOLVES challenged themselves to experiment and redefine their sound on DIE ABOUT IT with trusted collaborator Josh Gilbert (As I Lay Dying) who co-produced the album alongside BOECKLIN and DL. With a story that emphasizes the sarcastic statement pointed towards those defending their own beliefs into absurdity, wrong or right, BAD WOLVES believe if you’re gonna cry about it, then you might as well DIE ABOUT IT. Pre-order options including digital download, CD, cassette and three vinyl color variants are live now at https://badwolves.ffm.to/dieaboutit.

“We definitely challenged ourselves to experiment, but we maintained a heavier edge,” notes BOECKLIN. “We spent a lot of time making sure these songs weren’t all the same, which was important to us. We tried to push the possibilities of what you can do with heavy music. This is as fresh of a start as you can get on your fourth album.”

“Nobody is against any idea in the studio,” says DL. “That’s the most beautiful thing about this. There’s no limitations. We went to the far ends of the really soft and the extreme. We made it a point to separate ourselves from the past and make this our own.”

Following the release of DIE ABOUT IT’s opener and lead single, “Bad Friend,” on July 21, BAD WOLVES today (August 18) have unveiled a hypnotic new track “Legends Never Die” today across all digital platforms. Stream/download it HERE. Watch the “Legends Never Die” music video via YouTube HERE or streaming below.

“We wanted to write a song for our heroes, whether that’s our children, mothers, fathers or the likes of, sending their stories into eternity, forever igniting spirits and imaginations of those who follow,” DL shares. “With every retelling, their legacies resonate forever. This song reminds us that true greatness can never be extinguished. Legends NEVER die.”

ADDRESS TOXIC FRIENDSHIPS WITH
FIERCE NEW SINGLE/VIDEO
“BAD FRIEND”
OUT TODAY, JULY 21 VIA BETTER NOISE MUSIC

LISTEN/WATCH HERE

Platinum-certified hard rock heavyweights BAD WOLVES fuse unpredictable metallic intensity and impressive musicianship with arena-ready hooks. The group are excited to today (July 21) release across all digital platforms the first single, “Bad Friend,” from their highly anticipated studio album (title TBA) due later this year via Better Noise Music. Stream “Bad Friend” now HERE. “Bad Friend” brings awareness to recognizing the importance of cutting out people in your life who show toxic behavior and moving on from them. BAD WOLVES enlisted director Wombatfire (Asking Alexandria, Dream Theater) for its dark-themed music video which can be seen streaming below or directly HERE via YouTube.

“‘Bad Friend’ exemplifies exactly where Bad Wolves always wanted to be as a band,” relays vocalist Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz. “It lives dead center of being melodically catchy as well as crushingly heavy and is a great representation of our new upcoming album. This song reminds us that TRUE friendship is not about being perfect or always saying the right thing but being there for each other through the good times and the bad. It’s also to be willing to acknowledge one’s own mistakes and make things right. If you can’t do that, you might be a bad f*cking friend.”

Since 2018, BAD WOLVES, whose lineup consists of John Boecklin (drums), Doc Coyle (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Kyle Konkiel (bass, backing vocals), have earned a platinum plaque, topped iTunes, and continued to rule Active Rock radio charts with six #1 singles (“Hear Me Now,” “Killing Me Slowly,” “Lifeline,” “Remember When,” “Sober” and “Zombie”) and two Top 10 singles (“If Tomorrow Never Comes” at #2 and “Learn To Walk Again” at #10). Their debut album, Disobey, made a Top 25 debut on the Billboard Top 200 and saw BAD WOLVES perform 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. brought their total stream tally past the half-billion mark—unprecedented for a modern rock band. On top of that, Loudwire hailed it among the “50 Best Rock Albums of 2019” as Billboard and Consequence of Sound chronicled their rise. In the midst of 2021, they welcomed Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz—previously of The Acacia Strain—as lead vocalist, ushering in a new chapter with their third full-length offering, Dear Monster.

BAD WOLVES are currently on a headlining tour with support from For The Fallen Dreams, The Funeral Portrait and Inimical Drive until July 28. Next, they head out with Asking Alexandria and The Hu on their co-headlining “Psycho Thunder” tour across the U.S. from August 30 to October 8. Tickets are on-sale now at https://badwolvesnation.com/pages/tour. See full dates listed below.

Boecklin shares: “Playing new material from our upcoming record with our label mates Asking Alexandria and The HU is exactly what we want to be doing this Fall. See y’all there!”
