Since the release of their debut album, How Flowers Grow, in November 2021 Santa Cruz, CA-based band Scowl have been a non-stop force to be reckoned with. The band’s fierce display of hardcore-punk found them opening stadium-sized shows for Limp Bizkit this past spring, conquering the full U.S. with Destroy Boys, and touring Europe and the United Kingdom for the first time. Not to mention absolutely standout festival performances at Outbreak (U.K.) and Sound and Fury (LA).
To get even more hyped for their live shows, Scowl has shared a music video for fan-favorite track “Fuck Around”. The video embodies the wild year 2022 has been for the rising band so far, strewn between dynamic performance shots and every day antics. Scowl will also support The Bronx, The Chats, and Drug Church on a North American run this fall, and head back to the U.K. with Stick To Your Guns and LANDMVRKS this November.
Hailing from Santa Cruz, CA, hardcore punk band Scowl has burst onto the scene as one of the most authentic young voices in the genre, influenced by everything from 80s’ hardcore, punk, and Oi to modern alternative pop. The band has made a name for themselves with songs that are as reflective and dark as they are fun. A new addition to the Flatspot Records family, the label will be releasing their upcoming album How Flowers Grow later this fall. Formed in 2019 and consisting of vocalist Kat, guitarist Malachi, bassist Bailey, and drummer Cole, Scowl came out swinging with their fuzzed-out self-titled demo that same year. Follow up EP Reality After Reality (2019) cemented them as one of hardcore's rising star bands to watch, with anthemic tracks like “Retail Hell” quickly becoming staples of their caustic live set. The band has shared the stage with the likes of Terror, Mindforce, Gulch, Zulu, and DARE and have their eyes set on finishing 2021 strong - planning numerous tours and gearing up to release their first full-length.
