We're howling with laughter—and maybe a little awe—as we dive into the wonderfully weird world of Wolves of Glendale. In just a few years, this comedy rock trio - Ethan Edenberg, Eric Jackowitz and Tom McGovern - has gone from internet cult favorites to sharing stages with the likes of David Cross, Tenacious D, and even performing at the Netflix is a Joke Festival. Their music is sharp, silly, and sonically on point—and if you ask Jack Black, “they sound f****ng fantastic.”*KFI's Heather Brooker spoke with two of the wolves themselves—Eric and Tom —to talk about their creative process, musical influences, and the fine art of turning daily chaos into bangers you can laugh and rock out to. Their debut album, produced by Grammy-winners John Spiker and Rian Lewis, is out now and streaming everywhere.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
