Reignwolf is an American indie/blues rock band.


Jordan Cook was raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.[1][4] By age 15, he had a blues rock trio which performed at Switzerland's Montreux Jazz Festival.[4]

After recording on album under his own name, Seven Deadly Sins, Cook began recording in Memphis with Matt Chamberlain and Soundgarden's Ben Shepherd.[4] Realizing Cook would need a new name to make his mark in Seattle, his past manager came up with the name "Reignwolf" on accident. While listening the album, "LOVE" by The Cult, he noticed the track listing on the back of the album cover, which has the song "Mother Wolf" right above the song "Rain." In a Spinal Tap[4]moment, Reignwolf was born. The unveiling of "Reignwolf" premiered days later, at his first official show at The Sunset Tavern in Ballard, Washington.[4] Cook performs as both a one-man band accompanying his guitar with a kick drum,[5] and with bassist David "Stitch" Rapaport and drummer Joseph Braley.[4]

Reignwolf appeared in the episode "What Would Phil Do?" of Cameron Crowe's Showtime series Roadies.[6]

Reignwolf was declared one of "10 New Artists You Need to Know" by Rolling Stone in January 2014.[7] [8] [9]==References==
