July 15, 2014 – Los Angeles, CA – British punk band Gnarwolves has announced plans to release their debut self-titled album in the U.S. on September 23rd via Pure Noise Records.
The self-titled effort is made up of all-new tracks, filled to brim
with their signature, volatile mixture of urgently brash punk fury and
hook-laden melody with Lewis Johns (Sharks, Funeral For A Friend) once
again behind the mixing desk.
With today’s announcement comes the video for lead track “Smoking Kills,”
which was premiered by Dan P. Carter on last night’s BBC Radio 1 Rock
Show. Complete with front-side flips and fireworks, the clip follows the
boys in their hometown of Brighton, carving the city’s concrete on four
wheels before lighting up the night sky, with beers in hand.
Guitarist
and vocalist Thom Weeks says of the track, “”Smoking Kills,” on a
personal level is about my relationship with my father, but it's also
about the way society demonizes the young” dispelling the myth that all
Punk bands write about is pizza and old Hot Water Music records.
“Lyrically, the songs are snapshots of my own neurosis, trying to
capture those moments where you stop being rational and become a slave
to your own thought process. The moments where you think you've
completely fucked everything, before you speak to someone and they put
life back into perspective.”
It’s
set to be a busy summer for the band, alongside numerous UK and EU
events, the band will be opening the main stage at this year’s Reading
and Leeds festivals – making the jump from smallest stage to biggest in
just 12 months. With a debut album and huge shows over the coming
months, their fan-base, the CRU as they’ve become known, is set to
continue its meteoric rise all the way into 2015.
U.S. touring plans will be announced soon.
