Nashville-based Indie Rock group The Brook & The Bluff have announced their new album Werewolf, which will arrive on March 6th, 2026 through Dualtone Records. Heavily influenced by the band’s live show, Werewolf is a “transformative album.”
The band has shared a first look at the album with “Super Bowl Sunday,” which has “reflective lyrics about masculinity, ego, and the ties that bind.”
The Brook & The Bluff have also announced a nationwide headline tour supporting the new album, which will kick off in March 2026, and include stops at DC’s 9:30 Club, Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl, NYC’s Webster Hall, LA’s The Bellweather, and Denver’s Ogden Theatre among many others.
The band says about the new track:
‘Super Bowl Sunday’ is a song about falling back into a box that feels comfortable, resisting growth and staying stuck, mostly out of being plain old scared. It is looking at your life at a crossroads and saying something insane like ‘I’d rather watch the game with the boys’ instead of making a real decision. It’s all of that avoidance, covered up with some rippin’ guitar.
After nearly a decade of moving at highway speed, The Brook & The Bluff decided to take a break from the road last year. They stayed put in Nashville, meeting up every weekday morning for band practice. For several hours a day, they shut out the world and focused on nothing but music.
Channeling the Southern sounds of Creedence Clearwater Revival, Tom Petty, Eagles, Little Feat, and other Classic Rock bands, they wrote songs “full of melody and muscle, but with each song delivering a message, too.” This often led to them “reexamining the tropes and tired expectations of manhood in the modern-day south.”
By the time they headed into the studio with producer Micah Tawlks (Hayley Williams, Mat Kearney, COIN), the quartet had already played each song dozens of times. The studio sessions then unfolded like a live show, with everybody playing together in real time. The bandmates sat together in a circle and recorded each song 10 times to get their final tracks.
