# American Wolves Premiere “Part Of Me” On Billboard

*By Altwire Staff · March 16, 2016*

American Wolves have entered alternative rock with their debut single and music video *"Part Of Me."* Billboard has the exclusive debut for the four-piece, *"Part Of Me"* off their upcoming EP of five tracks.

*“I really think that we have the potential to redefine what it means to be a rock star in this day and age,”* says vocalist-guitarist Rod Pires. The band is two years young in formation, the single produced by Dan Korneff whose work includes Paramore and Breaking Benjamin- an impressive note to keep with American Wolves.

With their strong debut, Pires plans on 'changing the game a bit,' adding: *"...there are so many artists that have a platform to do good and inspire people and to talk about great things, and they don’t. They’re talking about things that aren’t necessarily good topics to write about. I feel like we have the potential to set the example for this next generation of bands that are coming up."*

American Wolves are coming in strong, but not aggressively in their eyes- *"In the music industry, you have all these bands, they’re almost fighting against each other instead of bringing each other up,"* he says.

*"What’s really cool about our is band is our members, we’re constantly bringing each other up. We’re not competing for a spot. That’s something that I really want to show people: that everyone has a place."*

On choosing the name, Pires also goes on to explain, *“When you think of a wolf, you think of someone that’s fierce. You think of passion, this fire, and I think that kind of represents us. We’re hungry for more success, we’re chasing down this dream, and we’re fierce about it and we have no fear."*
