Wolves is the sixth studio album by American rock band Story of the Year. The album was released on 8 December 2017. In October 2017, the band released "Bang Bang", their first single in more than seven years.[3]

Background

After touring constantly for close to a decade, the band took a hiatus and started families during that time. During that time, bass guitarist Adam Russell and the ensemble parted ways with Philip Sneed taking over on bass.[3] However, in 2018, Sneed announced his departure, along with the return of Russell returning to the band. The group funded their album via PledgeMusic.[3]

Composition

Lead vocalist Dan Marsala states that "Bang Bang" "encompasses the message of the album at large – the idea of the wolves closing in and time running out". The singer goes on to say that "Wolves is a metaphor for time slipping away; how it’s like a pack of wolves closing in".[3]
