Gritty, blues-influenced hard rock band
best remembered for the biker anthems
"Born to be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ri-
de".

Steppenwolf was formed in 1967 in LA
by John Kay and Jerry Edmonton who
were previously members of the Cana-
dian band The Sparrows. They were joi-
ned by Michael Monarch (lead guitar)
and Rushton Moreve (bass). The band
signed to Dunhill/ABC the same year
and with producer Gabriel Mekler they
recorded their self-titled debut album.

The band were propelled to success
with their classic single "Born To Be
Wild" (# 2 Hit in the US of A) and beca-
me even wider known when the track
was featured, along with their version
of ‘The Pusher’ in the classic 1969
counterculture film Easy Rider.

Steppenwolf were one of the pioneering
bands of American hard rock, conjuring
the roaring sound of a biker gang laying
claim to the highway on hits like "Born to
be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride." Like
most early hard rock acts, Steppenwolf's
approach was steeped in the blues, but
with an added level of lyrical swagger
and a full-bodied attack that added hints
of acid rock. The key elements of their
sound were the rough, throaty vocals of
leader John Kay, the hard, barking tone
of the eclectic guitar, and the thick, mus-
cular voice of the overdriven electric or-
gan. While wild good times informed
most of their hits, as their career went
on they shifted their focus to more se-
rious themes, including politics, milita-
rism, feminism, and the environment.
Steppenwolf's initial run is documented
thoroughly by the 2021 box set Magic
Carpet Ride: The ABC/Dunhill Years
1967-1971, while their second era in
the 1970s is summarized on the 1977
compilation Reborn to be Wild.
