In the early 1980s, while Scottish pop was getting brighter and shinier, Glasgow was home to a bunch of misfits who were kicking up a storm with their sinister Americana influenced compositions.

James King & The Lonewolves would eventually become the epitome of 'Cursed, Poisoned and Condemned', to quote a line from the New York Dolls' ‘Subway Train’. They were on the edge of greatness. The only obstacle they faced would be themselves.,,

The Lonewolves released just four singles in their original incarnation: “Back From The Dead” and “I Tried”/”So Alone” (both Virgin/Cuba Libre, 1981), “Texas Lullaby (Thrush Records, 1983) and “The Angels Know” (Swamplands, 1985). They also recorded an album with John Cale, which sadly never saw the light of day, after which the band split up.
Fast forward to 2011, which sees a reconstituted Lonewolves play a memorial show for former agent Alan Mawn. All present were stunned by the performance and, bolstered by their reception, the band returned to the studio.
The first recorded fruits of the revamped Lonewolves were revealed in May 2013, with the ‘Pretty Blue Eyes’EP sounding like it could have been released on Ork Records in 1975.

Having hooked up with Edinburgh’s Stereogram Recordings in 2014, that fantastic, long-lost album ‘Lost Songs of the Confederacy’, finally saw the light of day, entirely re-recorded, with new material, to unanimous praise.

Finally, May 2024 sees the release of the long awaited second album “The Mortality Arcade” via Last Night From Glasgow in conjunction with Stereogram Recordings. It is preceded by the singles “My Queen Has Lost Her Crown”, “Whipping Boy” and “At The Bottom Of The Sea”.
