Originally Named Heroes The Original Band Consisted Of Tim Hall Vocals Steve McKnight Guitar Phil Deckard Bass John Freixas Drums And JC Crampton Keyboards .. In 1986 The Band Moved To Los Angeles And Started Working The Hollywood Club Circuit Soon Thereafter Recruiting Hall's Friend Paul Cancilla On Drums. During Recording Sessions For Their Demo The Keyboardist JC Left And They Were Forced To Change The Name Of The Band. To Generate A Mailing List And Search For A Name At The Same Time The Band Ran A Contest In The Local BAM Magazine. The Person S Who Came Up With The Winning Name Would Win Mötley Crüe Tickets. The Name "Cry Wolf" Was Chosen Out Of Hundreds Of Entries. At About The Same Time A Demo Of The Band Was Out On The Streets And Was Starting A Buzz On The Strip. Word Got Out Overseas And Cry Wolf Was Convinced To Release It As A Limited Red Vinyl In Japan And Do A Handful Of Live Shows All Of Which Sold Out. The Band Was Promptly Offered A Recording Contract And Released Their Critically Acclaimed Self-Titled Debut On Epic/Sony Which Featured The Beatles Song "I Am The Walrus". The Japanese Success Led To An American Recording Contract And The Re-Release Of The Debut Album On Grand Slamm/IRS Titled "Crunch". This Album Along With The Debut In Japan Were Produced And Engineered By David DeVore REO Speedwagon Foreigner And Mixed By Joe Barresi Queens Of The Stone Age The Melvins . The US Release Had A Little Different Track Listing. The Band Dropped "I Am The Walrus" And "Wings" And Replaced Them With "Road To Ruin" "On The Run" And "Dirty Dog Night". Along With An Immensely Popular MTV Japan Video Of "West Wind Blows" The Band Also Released A Video For "Pretender" On MTV's Headbangers Ball.

The Band Brought In Murder Bay Drummer John E. Link As Well As Changed Management. The Band Continued On As Cry Wolf Through 1992 With A Darker/heavier New Sound And Began Recording Song Demos For Their Second Album. Unfortunately The Second Album Was Never Recorded Due To Grand Slam's Failure To Support And Fund The Second Album. As Such The Band Took Legal Action And Was Released From Grand Slamm Records In 1992. Soon After Being Released John Left The Band And The Remaining Members Changed Their Name To Shed But As The Seattle Grunge Scene Emerged Essentially Killing Off Any Hopes Of Getting Noticed In The LA Scene The Band Decided To Part Ways And Embark On New Musical Endeavours.
