Reignwolf is an American indie and blues rock trio from Seattle, Washington. It consists of vocalist and guitarist Jordan Cook, bassist Stacey James Kardash, and drummer Joseph Braley. They are known for their hit 2013 single "Are You Satisfied?"
History
Cook was born in Saskatoon in 1985, and music was already in his blood. The cold winter did not allow him to go outside, and in the evenings he listened to his father playing the guitar. At the age of six, Cooke's father took him to his first jam session in the city. Jordan sat on the edge of the stage and listened to his father perform music. At the age of seven, he self-released his debut album on cassette entitled Bluesman.
In 2005, having found two like-minded friends, he put together a group called the Blues Boys. They played in local establishments and slowly gained popularity. The group subsequently disbanded and Cook released an album under his own name called "Seven Deadly Sins"[1].
In late 2011, guitarist/vocalist Jordan Cook moved to Seattle, Washington, where he was introduced to David "Stitch" Rapaport and Joseph Braley from the band The Mothers Anger. Cook formed the band Reignwolf and invited Rapaport and Braley to join him.
In August 2013, after more than a full year of nonstop touring, the band released their first single, "Are You Satisfied?", the same day they performed at Lollapalooza. Later that year, they announced they had been selected as the direct support act on Black Sabbath's 2014 North American tour. Two more singles followed ("In the Dark" and "Lonely Sunday"), and Reignwolf was declared one of "10 New Artists You Need to Know" by Rolling Stone in January 2014.[2][3]
The band played their final show of the year on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2014, at The Showbox in Seattle. In 2015, Reignwolf signed with Stardog Records under the Republic/UMG umbrella and went into the studio to write and record their debut album. During that time, they appeared in the episode "What Would Phil Do?" of Cameron Crowe's Showtime series Roadies.[4]
Released on February 1, 2019, "Black and Red" was the first single from Hear Me Out, which came out on March 1, 2019.[5]
On June 17, 2022, Reignwolf released the single "The Woods" with Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk.[6]
