“Weaving myself to the front of the stage the giant pounding drums and grooves that greeted me gave way to poppiest syncopated dance beat that caught me off guard until I was bouncing up and down with the rest of the crowd, syncing myself in unison with frontman Michael Murphy – this was not your average rock show, this was something… fresh.

And I was loving it.

Big riffs, powerhouse vocals, epic grooves, and a well-honed, mainstream vibe, and a live show to bring nearly any house down – Written By Wolves are definitely a band to watch out for.”
– Mark Derricutt, Libel Music

“Well, forget your preconceptions about this man because Written By Wolves isn’t trying to make it, they’re going to make it. Never before have I seen a band that captivated me within seconds.”
