The Wolf Howls When I Scream Your Name
Originally a studio project that started with singer Matthew Awbery, the urge to develop the sound and start playing shows as a band grew, and now the project includes bassist Harry Woodrow and drummer Sam Johnson.
The band released their debut two-track, ‘In My Bed I’ll Rot’, in September 2018, to a great reception, and supported this release with a string of shows. The band’s second release, and debut EP, entitled ‘To Be Where There Is Pale Light’; a dark, ethereal body of work released in March 2019, saw greater opportunities for the band, including a
series of stellar reviews, and nationwide shows with bands such as Petrol Girls, Crywank, Slow Crush, and Nervus. T
his EP was followed by the band’s darkest work, ‘Where Flies Will Reign’ in February
2020, further evolving the band’s sound, aesthetic, and imagery through new sonic atmospheres and more vivid themes. During 2020, they released a trio of independent singles, leading up to the release of their debut album ‘Grief Songs’ in Autumn 2021, to a great reception. This 8-track concept record tells a story of grief and loss in different forms.
Influences: Thrice, Seahaven, Thursday, and R.E.M.
