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, Indie Rock and every music genre in between, by publications such as The Village Voice, Maximum RocknRoll, several hip alternative weeklies^[1] 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. AMC licensed music from the band for broadcast during the network's annual Monsterfest programming during Halloween season in 2007.

Their second full length recording, Cheat The Devil, was completed in 2007 and is scheduled for release in 2008. Sid Haig is the executive producer and is also featured on the cover artwork and on the track "Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde."
