Bio:
Company of Wolves was formed in 1989 and consisted of New York musicians Kyf Brewer (singer/songwriter, formerly of The Ravyns), Steven Conte (guitar/songwriter, formerly with Glen Burtnick), John Conte (bass/songwriter), and Frankie LaRocka (drums, formerly with Bryan Adams, John Waite, David Johansen).The Wolves were signed to Mercury/Polygram in the same year, and produced three AOR charting singles, (Call of the Wild, The Distance, Hangin¹ By a Thread), with their eponymous debut release in 1990. Rave reviews from every major rock publication followed quickly.The group toured the US relentlessly, sharing bills with everyone from Richard Marx to L.A. Guns, and released two videos to MTV, ³Call of the Wild², and ³The Distance².Company of Wolves² eventually sold over 100,000 units with very little company support, before going out of print in 1993.The group members soon fell into successful solo careers, until in 1998, popular demand convinced them to release ³Shakers & Tamborines², a collection of demo recordings made prior to their industry signing.Year 2001 marked the release of ³Steryl Spycase² on the Ryf imprint. ³Spycase² is the first new music from the writing force of Conte/Brewer/Conte since their debut. It defines their musical backgrounds and tastes, and showed the world that these versatile writers and musicians were more than just a ³hair² band.
Album:
Rhythm 'n' Booze is the official 1991 follow-up to our eponymous debut.If You're familiar with Steryl Spycase you will recognise some song titles previously released.The second Company of Wolves album re-released in it's true version - newly remastered - full booklet with photos and lyrics - new collector's edition.This American hard rock band, formed in the late 80s, consists of Kyf Brewer (vocals), Steve Conte (guitar) and John Conte (bass). A wide range of influences including Aerosmith, The Black Crowes, Bad Company and The Rolling Stones should have placed them in a rock vein, but their record company decided otherwise, classifying them as metal. It was a serious mistake, and one that undermined the band's success, despite the glowing reviews of their masterful debut album. After the reissue of 'Shakers & Tambourines', the album made up of tracks and demos that helped them sign with Mercury, Bad Reputation release the second album left in the drawers of the major (although another version exists as a self-production by the band). It's time to discover a superb blues rock album, produced with class and fantastic musicianship. The production is excellent. If you're a fan of the aforementioned bands, this is the album for you! Steve Conte (Michael Monroe, New York Dolls), Kyf Brewer (Billy Squier, Michael Bolton), John Conte (Southside Johnny and The Asbury Dukes).Now released in its entirety as it was originally intended - designed, ordered and approved by Steve, John & Kyf.Recorded at Bearsville Studios, Woodstock NY, 1991. Produced by Gary Lyons, with Bob Smith and Company of Wolves. Designed by Rich Jones with the help of Company of Wolves.
