✨ How did The Republic of Wolves begin?
The Republic of Wolves started as a creative offshoot in 2009. Lead singer Mason Maggio and guitarist Christian Van Deurs, originally from the indie folk band Tigers on Trains, began experimenting with a heavier, more dynamic sound with friends Billy Duprey and Chris Wall, leading to the band's formation.
✨ What viral mix-up boosted their early fame?
Early in their career, The Republic of Wolves gained significant buzz when clips of their demos were mistakenly uploaded to YouTube as unreleased songs by the popular Long Island band Brand New. This accidental viral marketing stunt, though later clarified, put them on the map and sparked widespread interest.
✨ What critical acclaim did their debut EP receive?
Their debut extended play, 'His Old Branches,' released in 2009, quickly garnered critical acclaim. AbsolutePunk notably named it "the best EP to be released in 2009," praising its unique blend of indie-folk and heavier alternative rock.
✨ What inspired their album 'Shrine'?
Their third full-length album, 'Shrine,' released in 2018, is a deeply conceptual work. It's a roughly narrative concept album that draws significant inspiration from mythology and folklore, with its lyrics often alluding to a fixed plot that runs beneath the surface.
✨ What was their surprise return in 2023?
After a nearly six-year hiatus since their critically acclaimed album 'Shrine,' The Republic of Wolves surprised fans with the unannounced release of their LP, 'Why Would Anyone Want To Live This Long?', in December 2023. The album, composed remotely, offers a fresh blend of their signature dark alt-rock and atmospheric folk.
