Tim Hall - Lead Vocals Steve McKnight - Guitar/Vocals Phil Deckard - Bass/Vocals Chris Moore - Drums/Vocals A History… Looking to set themselves apart from the thousands of other bands flooding into Los Angeles in the late ‘80s, the band recorded a four-song demo to be given away to anyone willing to sign the band’s mailing list. Soon, however, the demo was garnering international attention. Kelv Hellrazer (“Metal Forces” magazine) described the four song demo the best he’d ever heard, and further stated “I know it’s all been said before but I kid you not. Cry Wolf almost defy description. The legend begins here!”. Billboard magazine even recognized Cry Wolf as “One of the top five unsigned bands in the world” (The only other American band being the then unsigned Pantera). The success of the demo, along with their growing reputation as one of most energetic and powerful live bands playing in Los Angeles, Cry Wolf was given the unprecedented invitation to tour Japan in February of ‘89 as an “unsigned” band (releasing their original demo as a limited-edition “Red Vinyl” EP via Monster Records). This was short-lived, however, as the band was promptly offered a recording contract from Epic/Sony on the night of their first show of their tour, which by then had completely sold out. In Sept ‘89, the band returned to Japan for a month long sold-out tour to support their critically acclaimed self-titled debut on Epic/Sony, which featured the Beatles song "I Am The Walrus" and the immensely popular "West Wind Blows", a hit video on MTV Japan. The Japanese success led to an American recording contract and the re-release of the debut album on Grand Slamm/IRS records, titled "Crunch." This album, along with the debut in Japan, were produced and engineered by David DeVore (REO Speedwagon, Foreigner), and mixed by Joe Barresi (Queens of the Stone Age, The Melvins). Touring the United States in support of “Crunch”, Cry Wolf played alongside such bands as Judas Priest, King’s X, Savatage, Every Mother's Nightmare, Saigon Kick, Lynch Mob, as well as many others, and released a video for the single "Pretender" on MTV's Headbangers Ball. The early-mid 1990’s brought a change in the musical landscape, and the band decided to part ways and embark on new musical endeavors.
