DC WOLVES RELEASES EXPLOSIVE NEW SINGLE, ‘PILEDRIVER,’ FROM UPCOMING 'ATMOSPHERE' EP

HARTFORD, CT, 25 October 2024 – Rising alt-rock band DC Wolves has released their next powerful new single, “Piledriver.” This hard-hitting track is the first glimpse into their highly anticipated EP, Atmosphere, set for release in 2025.

The song’s push-and-pull dynamics are powered by a bedrock of bass movement, climbing guitar riffs, driving chorus grooves, and soaring harmonies. Reflective of its sound, the track embraces destruction and chaos with full awareness and abandon. It blends themes of personal devastation, self-destruction, power dynamics, and an existential acceptance of fate, leaving listeners with a strong feeling of both despair and defiant control over one’s own undoing.

 

“‘It’s an anti-war song, told from the perspective of an anonymous soldier trying to cope with what they've been asked to sacrifice in a war they don't understand or believe in,” says frontman and songwriter Dan Cahill. “Governments start wars, but it's the everyday people who suffer the consequences."

 

DC Wolves has been gaining momentum in the alt-rock scene with their signature sound, which blends post-punk intensity with the raw energy of modern rock. Known for their anthemic choruses and charged lyrics, the band has built a reputation that resonates both musically and emotionally with fans—a reputation that’s only strengthened by their latest release and upcoming EP.


Set against a backdrop of potent guitars and a relentless rhythm section, “Piledriver” taps into the band’s signature sound, marked by poignant storytelling and visceral performances. The single offers a glimpse into the broader themes explored on Atmosphere, including conflict, personal struggle, and the human cost of global events.

​

With the release of “Piledriver”, DC Wolves is poised to make an even bigger impact on the alt-rock world. The single will be available on all major streaming platforms, with Atmosphere set for release in the spring of 2025.

About DC Wolves:

​

Pure-blooded rock and roll shrouded in a noir persona, DC Wolves is a Connecticut-based quartet that sprung from the mysterious and alluring imagination of frontman, Dan Cahill in 2016. Three albums later, what was once a solo project is now rounded out by guitarist Kai Glashausser, drummer Joe Brun, and bassist Shawn Costa. As the collective brought even more flavor and ferocity to the studio and the stage, the band has garnered sonic prowess that only continues to mature with each release. The band released its debut full-length record, You’ve Been Careless, in 2018, followed by the Nighthawk EP, released three years later in 2021. Predator, DC Wolves’s 2022 sophomore full-length releases garnered praise from media and fans alike, with Metal World Magazine calling it “one of the best rock albums to come out” in 2022, and “one of the best things to happen lately thanks to the apocalyptic-pandemic setting." Hysteria Magazine also claimed that “DC Wolves has returned bigger, better, and bolder than ever.” Most recently, the band collaborated with Sharp Object in 2023 on a split-EP, Warm Hands, Feral Tongues.
