Ohio post-hardcore rockers Wolves At The Gate are pleased to announce “Back To School”, a digital EP of covers set to drop September 30th. The EP sees WATG paying homage and “schooling” a new generation on keystone bands such as Thrice, Thursday, Blindside and The Receiving End Of Sirens with fresh takes on fan-favorite tracks from those artists.
“We’re really excited about this EP because we hope to give fans an inside look at the types of music and bands that inspired our own creativity with Wolves At The Gate.” explains guitarist/vocalist Steve Cobucci. “The lyrical content of each song has real depth and meaning to us as well. Recording these songs was so much fun because I’ve been playing and singing these songs for about a decade.”
In addition to “Back To School”, WATG will make sure fans are ready for the fall with an appearance on the Rise Up tour – a month long, 28-city run – supporting A Skylit Drive alongside For All Those Sleeping, I The Mighty and PVRIS.
Named one of Alternative Press’s “100 Bands To Know” in 2012, Wolves At The Gate have been relentlessly touring in support of their debut full-length, “Captors”. Released in 2012, “Captors” sees the band not only living up to but surpassing the huge potential recognized early on by critics and fans alike with explosive songwriting that careens from brooding melodic hard rock to unabashedly heavy hardcore stomps.
Track List:
1. Deadbolt (originally by Thrice)
2. Understanding In A Car Crash (originally by Thursday)
3. Sleepwalking (originally by Blindside)
4. Planning a Prison Break (originally by The Receiving End of Sirens)
