Common Wolf were formed early in the summer of 2011. The founding members, Ross O'Farrell and Glenn Malone, were always keen on starting a group sheerly because of their love for spectacular live performance and beat driven music. Their sound sits somewhere in between pop and rock. Both clearly influenced by the timeless genres.

Their members consist of Tallaght based musicians but they live and gig reguarly in Dublin city with the odd appearance around the greater country. They completed their first studio recording in late June 2012 with NDT Productions. The Common Wolf EP in now available for free download on commonwolf1.bandcamp.com.

They have been compared to The Smiths, Joy Division and The Strokes but they believe influence is not only music based as they care heavily about personal expression, especially in performance. They live for the live stage as they believe to make music is to be alive.
