One of the hottest new young bands on the scene would have to be Los Angeles locals Joyous Wolf. Vocalist Nick Reese and guitarist Blake Allard of the band joined Matt Pinfield for an engaging conversation about their current ventures on this episode of New & Approved.

Reese and Allard talk with Matt about the excitement of touring for the first time as a headlining band. Prior to headlining they have toured with Slash, Myles Kennedy, and Deep Purple just to name a few. The two then discuss the bliss of hanging out with Deep Purple and how well the legendary band treated them on the road.

Nick dives into his history with stories about when he first met Joyous World drummer Robert Sodaro in 6th grade and how they bonded over their love of music. Many years later, fate would bring Nick to Guitar Center where he would meet Blake and thus Joyous Wolf was soon to be born.

Matt, Blake, and Nick also chat about Joyous Wolf’s recent single “Fearless,” which has been a great commercial success. You can hear them play the song live as Joyous Wolf will be performing at The Viper Room on January 26th!
