The band's third album, At Your Birthday Party, reached number 7 on the Billboard. The album's single "Rock Me" reached number 10 on Billboard; no single went that high in the United States after that, although they continued to do well on the Canadian singles chart. Steppenwolf released three more albums by 1972 that had no commercial success and eventually led to the band's dissolution. The band re-formed in 1974 with a new lineup, including John Kay, Jerry Edmonton, Goldy McJohn, George Biondo, and Bobby Cochran. Steppenwolf released three albums during this period, the most successful being "Slow Flux". After three albums, Steppenwolf was dissolved in 1976. The group was re-formed in 1980 and broke up for the last time in 2018. Steppenwolf's newest studio album was Rise & Shine, released in 1990.
