WOLF! featuring Scott Metzger unveiled the new single “Hedgehog.” The track appears on Adult Entertainment, a new EP due out via Royal Potato Family on October 28.
“Telecaster rock trio” WOLF! consists of guitarist Scott Metzer, bassist Jon Shaw and drummer Taylor Floreth. Adult Entertainment marks the group’s first new music since 2016. The six-track EP was recorded at Restoration Sound in the band’s hometown of Brooklyn. WOLF! featuring Scott Metzger previously shared the set’s lead single and opening track, “Ratso.”
“We had WOLF! up and running pretty hard back in 2016. There were two really great albums, a bunch of sold out shows, a few songs licensed to film and television and then for a laundry list of reasons, some still even unclear to us as a band, our attention got pulled towards other endeavors,” Metzger explained in a press release announcing the EP. “In 2018, we ducked back into the studio and put down some tracks, but again life pointed us in other directions and the recordings wound up on the back burner. As things started to open up following the pandemic, it quickly became apparent that it was time to finish up the EP and get the band back out playing shows again.”
