Reignwolf is an American indie and blues rock trio from Seattle, Washington. It consists of vocalist and guitarist Jordan Cook, bassist Stacey James Kardash, and drummer Joseph Braley. They are known for their hit 2013 single "Are You Satisfied?"

History

In late 2011, guitarist/vocalist Jordan Cook moved to Seattle, Washington, from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan,{{cite web|url=https://www.seattlemet.com/articles/2012/7/17/the-legend-of-reignwolf-jordan-cook-august-2012/|work=Seattle Metropolitan|access-date=October 23, 2019|date=July 17, 2012|title=The Legend of Reignwolf}} where he was introduced to David "Stitch" Rapaport and Joseph Braley from the band The Mothers Anger. Cook formed the band Reignwolf and invited Rapaport and Braley to join him.

In August 2013, after more than a full year of nonstop touring, the band released their first single, "Are You Satisfied?", the same day they performed at Lollapalooza. Later that year, they announced they had been selected as the direct support act on Black Sabbath's 2014 North American tour. Two more singles followed ("In the Dark" and "Lonely Sunday"), and Reignwolf was declared one of "10 New Artists You Need to Know" by Rolling Stone in January 2014.{{cite web|last=Weingarten|first=Christopher R.|title=10 New Artists You Need to Know: January 2014|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/10-new-artists-you-need-to-know-january-2014-20140124/reignwolf-0788447|publisher=Rolling Stone|date=January 24, 2014|accessdate=March 27, 2017}}{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/how-reignwolf-became-a-one-man-blues-rock-army-41009/|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=June 28, 2019|date=September 8, 2014|title=How Reignwolf Became a One-Man Blues-Rock Army}}

The band played their final show of the year on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2014, at The Showbox in Seattle. In 2015, Reignwolf signed with Stardog Records under the Republic/UMG umbrella and went into the studio to write and record their debut album. During that time, they appeared in the episode "What Would Phil Do?" of Cameron Crowe's Showtime series Roadies.{{cite web|title=Reignwolf featured in new Showtime series premiering Sunday|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/reignwolf-jordan-cook-the-roadies-1.3648477|publisher=CBC News|date=June 22, 2016|accessdate=March 27, 2017}}
