The Howlers’ debut album ‘What You’ve Got To Lose To Win It All’ earned the band a UK Official Charts Top 10 position and multiple chart positions across mainland Europe, where they also completed a headline tour last March. The record represented the emotional toll of personal loss, written and conceived by Young as a means to express and share his own experiences.
Outwardly the band was riding the high of success, but behind the scenes they were falling apart amidst the buden of independent releasing. But in the wake of the new year, Young set about working on the foundations of what would become the band’s second album. Galvanised by his newfound independence and reshaping the band into a two-piece, The Howlers recorded and released their rebirth singles “Night Crawling” and “You Can Be So Cruel”.
This propelled the band across the continent, testing the waters on new material and rekindling a love for performing. The band have built a reputation as one of the country’s must-see bands, with plans to head back out on the road in the UK and EU surrounding their new album later this year.
‘Heavy’, The Howlers’ sophomore album, is set for release via Frontiers Label Group on 9th October. Tour dates are listed below.
