Gene the Werewolf has never paid attention to trends. Nor has the Pittsburgh-based sextet been part of a scene or the hipster's band of choice. They are iconoclasts by virtue of their music, rock 'n' roll survivors in thrall to the genre's power and energy. And they're damn good at it, even if they are a dying breed. "It's strange to feel like you are one of the last of your own kind," says Jon Belan, the band's dynamic front-man and lead singer.
The band, formed in 2007, is comprised of 6 native Pittsburghers. With self-released albums "Light Me Up" and "Wicked Love" under their belts, as well as 2012's worldwide release of "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" on Frontiers Records (Italy), followed by 2016's self-released "The Loner", GTW’s efforts have produced (5) singles on one of the nation's most prestigious rock radio dials, 102.5 WDVE-FM, including 2022's one-off single "Dying Breed".
