The Republic of Wolves is an indie rock band from Long Island, New York consisting of Mason Maggio and Christian Van Deurs of the indie folk band Tigers On Trains, as well as Billy Duprey and Gregg Andrew Dellarocca. AbsolutePunk named their debut extended play ''His Old Branches'' "the best EP to be released in 2009".〔Henderson, Steve. ("Republic of Wolves, The - His Old Branches" ), ''AbsolutePunk'', 12 December 2009. Retrieved on 2009-12-12.〕 Punknews.org has noted that there are "some moments of brilliant restraint in their songs".〔Shultz, Brian. ("Editors' Picks: Sainthood Reps/The Republic of Wolves" ), ''Punknews.org'' , 22 August 2009. Retrieved on 2009-08-22.〕 The Republic Of Wolves were placed on a list of the "Top 10 Indie Bands" in ''Substream Music Press'' magazine, where they are described as having "dark sounds, slowly but forcefully delivered vocals, and aggressively smart lyrics."〔Press, Garrett. ("Absolute Punk's Top 10 Indie Bands" ) , 13 March 2010. Retrieved on 2010-03-13.〕 The band has performed with acts such as Good Old War, Vinnie Caruana and Brandon Reilly of The Movielife, Gabriel the Marine, The Felix Culpa, Robbers, HRVRD, Sainthood Reps, Tiger Riot, and others. ==History== During the summer of 2009, Mason Maggio and Christian Van Deurs were recording the Tigers On Trains album "Grandfather"〔("Grandfather" )〕 at Gregg Andrew Dellarocca's home studio. They soon began experimenting with a different, heavier, and more dynamic style of music with friends Billy Duprey and Chris Wall and The Republic Of Wolves was formed. The Republic of Wolves has notable influences from other Long Island bands such as Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Straylight Run, Glassjaw, and As Tall As Lions. This influence was most obvious when clips of three The Republic of Wolves demos were posted onto YouTube as demos of Brand New songs from their then upcoming album ''Daisy''. Initially, many Brand New fans could not tell whether these demos were legitimate or not. The band has officially stated that they had no part in this incident, and when they found out about the faux demos they contacted the CEO of AbsolutePunk Jason Tate and the truth was revealed. The full story can be found in various interviews and websites (including AbsolutePunk).〔Tate, Jason. ("YouTube Mystery: Solved" ) "AbsolutePunk", 18 August 2009.
