The Brook & The Bluff return to their rock & roll roots with Werewolf - a high-voltage, live-inspired album that turns up the amps, pushes the tempo, and howls in four-part harmony. Fueled by the sharp songwriting and stacked vocals that have defined their catalog, the collection captures the raw, supercharged energy of the band’s concerts.
After nearly a decade of nonstop touring - earning hundreds of millions of streams with fan favorites like “Halfway Up” and “Everything Is Just a Mess” - the band regrouped in Nashville, meeting every morning to write and rehearse like their early days in Birmingham, Alabama. Life unfolded in the background: weddings, divorces, real-world growing pains. Inside the room, it was all music.
The band channels the swamp rock spirit of legendary artists like Creedence, Petty, and The Eagles, delivering loud, melodic, deeply human songs like lead single “Super Bowl Sunday” - a crashing, introspective anthem about ego and emotional blind spots. “The goal was to treat the record like a live set,” says frontman Joseph Settine. And that’s exactly what they’ve done.

SHY COMPANY OPENING: Some feelings are easier to sing than they are to say. Born in Macon, Georgia, Shy Company blends dreamy melodies, layered guitars, dynamic rhythms, and dual vocals into the band's signature East Coast dream rock sound. Both energetic and deeply personal, their music has always been a way of making sense of the world, turning life's highs, lows, questions, and quiet moments into something that can be shared. Their songs aren't written to tell listeners what to feel. They're written to help them recognize feelings that were already there. With heart, authenticity, and a love for the craft, Shy Company hopes every song finds the person who needed it.
