BAD WOLVES will release their fourth full-length album, “Die About It”, on 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 John Boecklin (drums) and Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz (vocals). 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”.
“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 have unveiled a hypnotic new track “Legends Never Die” across all digital platforms.
“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.”

Starting in 2018, BAD WOLVES, comprising John Boecklin (drums), Doc Coyle (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Kyle Konkiel (bass, backing vocals), have achieved remarkable milestones. They’ve secured a platinum certification, dominated the iTunes charts, and maintained a commanding presence on the Active Rock radio charts, claiming the pinnacle with six No. 1 singles (“Hear Me Now,” “Killing Me Slowly,” “Lifeline,” “Remember When,” “Sober,” and “Zombie”), along with two Top 10 singles (“If Tomorrow Never Comes” at No. 2 and “Learn To Walk Again” at No. 10).
Their inaugural album, “Disobey,” made an impressive entry into the Top 25 of the Billboard Top 200. BAD WOLVES took this momentum to packed venues across continents, sharing stages with heavyweights like FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and MEGADETH. By 2019, their second release, “N.A.T.I.O.N.,” achieved a milestone unprecedented for a modern rock band: surpassing the half-billion mark in total streams. The album earned accolades, being recognized among the “50 Best Rock Albums of 2019” by Loudwire, while Billboard and Consequence Of Sound documented their meteoric ascent.
In the midst of 2021, a new phase began for BAD WOLVES as they introduced Laskiewicz, formerly of THE ACACIA STRAIN, as the lead vocalist. This transition marked the onset of a fresh chapter in their musical journey, culminating in their third full-length creation, “Dear Monster.”
