Hour of the Wolf

Steppenwolf

A weary, twilight-hued collection of mid-seventies rock. Gritty organ grooves meet a softer, more reflective side of the classic biker-rock sound.

It's the sound of the biker who finally traded the chopper for a touring bike and started enjoying the scenery.

A road-weary and reflective brand of hard rock that feels like a long day of travel finally settling into a steady evening rhythm.
