History

To Speak of Wolves was founded in 2007 with ex-members of several touring bands, including Sullivan, This Runs Through and Human Flight Committee.[2][3] They signed with Tragic Hero Records and released their first EP, Following Voices.[3] Following this, the band went through a number of line-up changes,[4] before settling on the current line-up and signing with Solid State Records.[5]

In 2010, they released their first full-length album, Myself < Letting Go.[6] In late 2010, the lead vocalist, Rick Jacobs, left the band, being replaced by the former Oh, Sleeper merchandise man, Gage Speas. The bass guitarist, Will McCutcheon, left the band and was replaced by Seth Webster.

The band's second album, Find Your Worth, Come Home, was released on May 22, 2012, on Solid State Records.[citation needed] This was the first To Speak of Wolves album with William "Gage" Speas as the lead vocalist.

In 2016, the band announced a comeback and a new EP entitled New Bones that was released September 16, 2016 on Cardigan Records.[1]
