Introducing: UK female fronted rock band Wolfsmoke from Sheffield, South Yorkshire!
“Wolfsmoke are a 4 piece rock band not tethered by sub genres, based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. Who also take influence from metal and pop. Their songs range from hard rocking riffs with groove and attack, to flowing and soaring numbers bringing an ambience and mood, always highlighted by the realism and connectivity of the vocals and lyrics.”
Taking inspiration from a number of genres. Based in Yorkshire.
Wolfsmoke are a female fronted alternative hard rock band.
With fuzzy riffs from Joshua Cantrill and thunderous drums curtesy of James banks topped off with melodic vocals from Jo Nash.
Starting in 2019, with Josh the instigator joined by James who together auditioned for singers and decided they wanted a female singer. That came in the form of Joanne Nash.
Together they formed Wolfsmoke, we had the same trials and tribulations as anyone else did during Covid, sadly some crumbled, but with sheer determination and modern technology! We stayed together! Writing in the background and never losing focus. In 2020, we played our first gig and from 2021 we continue to gig regularly. In 2022, we released three singles »Devil’s Cup«, »If You Don’t Know Me« and »Spite Bites Back« on all major streaming platforms. In 2023, we released »Come With Me« that was recorded by Alex at Malice Recordings. We gained a bassist called John Mathison (he knew how to make the sound drive) but sadly bass has taken it toll and he had to quit! Sadly missed from Wolfsmoke.
Mike (Mikey) Francis, joined the band Feb / March 2023 Mikey quickly became comfortable with the parts and us as a band. With a bass sound like an engine, he really gets the songs motoring. Towards the end of 2023, unfortunately Mikey had to leave due to personal commitments. In December 2023 our new 4 string axeman, Scott Andrews, appeared with all the drive boxes to provide us a kick into 2024 and beyond. In June 2024, we released »Devil’s Cup« (Re-imagined) which was recorded by Alex at Malice.
