The Young Werewolves are a Philadelphia rock band formed in 2002. Upon the release of their self titled debut album, the trio were labeled rockabilly, psychobilly, punk, garage, surf, gothabilly and every music genre in between, by publications such as The Village Voice, Maximum RocknRoll, several hip alternative weeklies and international fanzines.

Percussionists and composers, Nick Falcon (guitar), Shewolf Dana Kain (bass) and Jonny Wolf (drums) met after Falcon placed ads on the internet and in music shops searching for "musicians interested in forming a band with a sound like The Ramones-meets-Buddy Holly at a Beef-and-Beer. All greasers please apply."

Attracting attention from the underground press, frequent airplay on specialty radio and maintaining a steady performance schedule have contributed in establishing the band a cult following. In 2004 their music was licensed for broadcast on the fifteenth season of MTV's popular reality television series The Real World based in Philadelphia.
