Following the release of a newly re-recorded version of their Rick Rubin-produced 1989 debut album ‘Live Fast, Die Fast’ titled ‘Live Faster’, Tamworth terrors Wolfsbane are coming to *INSERT VENUE* on *INSERT DATE*.

The ALL-ORIGINAL lineup from 1989 (Blaze Bayley, Jase Edwards, Jeff Hateley, and Steve Danger) will be playing 'I Like It Hot', ‘Manhunt’, 'Money To Burn', ‘Ezy’ and plenty of fan favourites from their back catalogue!

Formed in Tamworth in 1984, Wolfsbane gained a reputation as one of the most incendiary live British Rock bands of the 80s and 90s, being followed across the UK by their hardcore fanbase of “Howling Mad Sh*theads” (or “HMS”). 

 The band released several highly acclaimed albums (including the NME 10/10-rated live album 'Massive Noise Injection') before disbanding in 1994 when Blaze Bayley was recruited to front Iron Maiden.

After a fourteen-year hiatus, Wolfsbane reunited in 2007 and continue to release new music and tour regularly in 2025. In recent years they have performed at Bloodstock, Stonedead and Steelhouse festival where they continue to fly the flag for British Rock and are still enjoying every minute of it!

About Wolfsbane

 Wolfsbane were formed in Tamworth in 1984. After a couple of years with different drummers the line-up of Blaze Bayley on vocals, Jase Edwards on guitar, Jeff Hateley on bass and Steve Danger on drums was established. This line up remains unchanged to this day. Gigging constantly anywhere that would have them Wolfsbane soon gained a reputation as one of the most incendiary live British Rock bands around, with an original sound fusing Hard Rock, Metal, Punk, Glam and Pop.

After receiving great reviews in Kerrang and Sounds magazines and support slots with King Diamond, Motorhead and Faith No More, Wolfsbane came to the attention of legendary record producer Rick Rubin, who signed them to his new Def American label. In 1989 their debut album 'Live Fast Die Fast' was released to rave reviews and included the (almost) hit single 'I Like it Hot'. In 1990 Wolfsbane released the classic six track mini album ‘All Hells Breaking Loose At Little Kathy Wilson's Place’. This was released to accompany a British and Irish tour supporting the mighty Iron Maiden! 91 saw the release of the ambitious and eclectic 'Down Fall the Good Guys' album, recorded at Abbey Road studios, produced by a young Brendon O'Brien and followed by the bands biggest and most successful British tour to date.

Wolfsbane toured across Europe, joining bands Motorhead, Anthrax and Public Enemy and Voivod in their tours, having excellent reactions and life changing escapades. Wolfsbane then parted company with Def American and signed with the reactivated indie label Bronze Records. Their first release for Bronze was the raw raucous and legendary live album 'Massive Noise Injection', this was recorded on one sold out night at London's Marquee club and captured Wolfsbane in all their unhinged glory and earned them a ten out of ten review in the NME!

Revitalised by the success of ‘Massive Noise Injection’, Wolfsbane recorded the eponymous stripped down, musically and lyrically hard hitting self-titled album known as 'The White Album' but before its release Blaze Bayley left the band to replace Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden.

After a fourteen-year hiatus, Wolfsbane reunited in 2007 at the Rock of Ages festival in Tamworth and then toured with The Wildhearts and The Quireboys. In 2011 the reunion became permanent and Wolfsbane released their comeback album 'Wolfsbane Save The World' and this comeback was to last longer then the band had been together first time around. This was followed by the 'Rock' ep and another live album 'Wolfsbane Go Loco At The Asylum' recorded in Birmingham.

In 2022 the band released the second full studio album of their now cemented comeback, the acclaimed 'Genius' album which epitomises the bands carefree attitude showing they will enjoy every minute of playing music together, with an infectiousness that can inspire others to do the same.

In 2025 Wolfsbane released 'Live Faster ' a totally new re-recording of their debut album. It is a reclamation of the first album as the band would have wanted it.
