Orange County rockers Joyous Wolf are back and bringing the heat with their newest single, “Fearless”, released July 30th on Roadrunner Records.
The song, which is the first release off the band’s forthcoming album, is a high-energy anthem about living fully and unafraid, like we did as children. Frontman Nick Reese soars on this track, with his most impressive vocals to date, and guitarist Blake Allard tears it up with a fiery, in-your-face solo. Getting to hear this song live on the band’s recent tour with Dirty Honey was quite a treat, and made me even more excited for the album’s release in the hopefully-near future.
Joyous Wolf have come to develop a signature sound that is 100% their own, pure rock & roll with a raw edge, unapologetic and daring. As well, “Fearless”, from a listener’s perspective, could be described as the love child of Montrose and Boston.
Reese shares that “Fearless” is somewhat of a “wild card”, being finished during the band’s final days in the studio working on the upcoming album. During recording, he reflected on the unafraid nature most of us possess as children, and how it seems to turn into fear as life happens, and we get older. “For the most part, I like to believe we are born fearless, and we are conditioned to be afraid.”
“Fearless” is available now on all streaming services. You can check out the companion music video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNGaY7ta8Xs) and visit joyouswolf.com for all the latest updates.
