Reignwolf came to Osheaga last year, and he put on one hell of a show. Watching him play is seeing someone do what they're meant to do. Jordan Cook was made to make music, and god damn does he make music.

He had the crowd in the palm of his hand, it was impossible to look away. At one point, he started drumming with one hand while playing guitar with the other and it sounded amazing. The crowd shouted itself hoarse, and you could tell that there was nothing he'd rather be doing right then than playing right there.

Nearing the end of his set, he grabbed a bass drum, brought it over the barrier, stood on it in the middle of the crowd and launched into his best solo yet. The crowd lost it, I was about three feet away from him and couldn't believe what was happening. Everyone was berserk, roaring with approval, beyond amazed. That's the best show I've ever seen. Listen to him here.
