Alpha Wolf drop surprise “bleed 4 you” LoFi Remix

December 6, 2021

If there is one concept that draws a linear path through the entire history of Alpha Wolf, it’s rising above their surroundings and doing whatever they can to continue their forward motion. After 18 months of uncertainty, the band celebrates their return to stages by doing something quite unexpected: releasing a lo-fi remix of a fan favorite, ‘bleed 4 you’. “The idea of this track was birthed during a gloomy lockdown afternoon”, explains Alpha Wolf guitarist and producer Scott Simpson. “We didn’t like the idea of having a year without a new release; and although it may not be what people are expecting, I think this remix caps off the vibe of what has been a really strange year for all. So I hope everyone can find some sort of comfort in this song wherever they are in the world.” Once the idea began to grow Alpha Wolf reached out to Mik, a remixer who has garnished a cult following after remixing everything from Counterparts to the Star Wars theme to tunes from Demon Slayer [Read More]
