United Kingdom Wolf Gang, fronted by Max McElligott, was a British alternative and symphonic rock band that earned critical acclaim and toured internationally. The band's music achieved significant exposure through various media placements and brand collaborations.

Burberry invited Wolf Gang to perform a stripped-back acoustic set for their Fashion's Night Out event in September 2011 after they performed an acoustic version of "Back to Back."

Wolf Gang performed at American designer Thom Browne's collection preview for Harrods.
Wolf Gang began as the project of Max McElligott. While studying social anthropology at the London School of Economics, McElligott took a year to focus on music, laying the groundwork for the band. In its early stages, he recorded all instrumental and vocal parts himself. The band’s live lineup later solidified in late 2009 to include Lasse Petersen on drums, Gavin Slater on guitar, and James Wood on bass. This formation led to extensive touring and the release of their debut album.
In 2011, Wolf Gang released their first album, “Suego Faults,” under Atlantic Records. The album was co-produced by McElligott and Dave Fridmann, known for his work with The Flaming Lips and MGMT. “Suego Faults” was critically well-received, earning high ratings from publications such as Artrocker, NME, and Uncut. The band’s profile continued to rise, leading to a worldwide record deal with Cherrytree Records, an imprint of Interscope Records, in February 2013. Their second album, “Alveron,” followed in 2014, produced by Flood at Assault & Battery Studios in London. The band announced its decision to conclude operations in July 2015.
Throughout their career, Wolf Gang toured and performed with notable artists, including Coldplay, The Killers, Florence and the Machine, Keane, and Ellie Goulding. They headlined the NME Radar Tour in the UK in 2011 and performed at international festivals such as Parklife Festival in Australia (2010), Coachella (2012), Rock en Seine, Glastonbury, and SXSW. Their music gained further recognition through placements like “Lions in Cages,” which was used in a General Motors TV campaign and on the show Gossip Girl, while “The King and All His Men” served as the theme song for the BBC’s “Final Score” from 2011 to 2013. The band also engaged in collaborations with fashion brands such as Burberry and Emporio Armani.
