Motto #1: If you can’t face the wolves, don’t go into the forest.
Motto #2: Carpe that diem, bitches. #YOLO
A notorious group of tearaway boys originating in Hackney, London - a shit hole, worse than even Essex which is a literal shit hole - to relocate Los Angeles, the City of Angels.
Jack: “Mate, we’re goin’ Los Angeles, the City Of Angles”
Rory: “We’re ain’t goin’ no city, bro. We’re goin’ to Heaven.”
Jack: “You’re preachin’ to the choir, brother.”
Known for their rambunctious behavior, the #lads give off the vibe of being loud, reckless and out of control. Engaging in rituals such as ululation, chanting, fire dancing, top banter and Cheeky Nando’s the tribe inhabit one of the city’s only standing Cathedral. Cathedral, mate, ain’t no petty church. During celebrations, dressing in the hides of animals is custom for the gang, as is war paint. Music is often created around the campfires in the Cathedral by drums made by Yamaha. They are mostly nocturnal, coming alive at night, and prefer to navigate by the rooftops rather than the streets - parkour, motherfuckers. The pack isn’t just a group of lost boys, it’s a brotherhood. The boys are not known by their birth-name, but by a nickname or pseudonym worthy of banter. Punishment within the tribe is human sacrifice to the gods.
The Wolf Pack refer to their jeep hidden outside the City as ‘the Den.’ Sometimes it is nicknamed ‘Denny’s’.
The Cathedral is known to them as ‘Big Wayne’.
Initiation is done by chemical burn from lye, used in soap production, because Jack and Rory make dynamite out of soap. The chemical burn is the most intense pain you can ever experience, victims are literally begging for mercy. The reason for this? The Wolf Pack believe in carpe diem, and it’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything (Chuck Palahniuk). Basically you can’t #yolo until you’ve hit rock bottom. Once you’ve hit bottom you know whatever happens it can’t get worse than that. Then you can truly live fearlessly and do whatever you like which is very important to the Pack - they love their freedom and ability to express themselves.
The Wolf Pack are incredibly musical. Most, if not all, of them can play an instrument of a wide range. Examples are pan flutes, thumb pianos, bongo drums, rain shakers, treebone xylophones, jimbe drums, maracas, steel pans, whistle, the triangle.
Coloured (brown, white, orange, black) paint made from a mixture of mud and water based dyes is used on the faces or to paint symbols on the body during celebrations. On celebrations the Pack only wear their trousers and fur on their back - click here for inspiration :). Every full moon the Pack have a festival where they dance around the campfire playing their instruments and ululating and wearing their tribal paint and furs being all badass and crazy and having fun. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaay.
The smoking of marijuana is common. Why not be spiritually high while high on life?
Each member of the Pack has a tattoo of a wolf’s head on the left side of their chest above their heart. This wolf head can be individual to the person but in essence they are all similar and run with the wolves.
When a pack member dies they mourn the death by gathering around a fire, cutting out a lock of their own hair and throwing it into the flames. They sing haunting songs as the locks of hair burn and the smoke rises into the sky.
Sir Toby Belch (the German Shepherd dog) is their mascot.
