THE HOWLERS - EU Album Tour

After returning in 2025 with the singles "Nightcrawling" and "You Can Be So Cruel" and signing to indie label FLG, London indie-rockers The Howlers are back with their new single "Viper", released on 7 May. The band has also announced their second album "Heavy", out on 9 October - a bold, intense statement that marks the most defining chapter of their career so far.

Driven by a pulsing riff, an uncompromising rhythm section and raw, urgent energy, "Viper" captures The Howlers at their most direct - indie rock'n'roll charged with tension, desire and consequence. The track offers a first taste of "Heavy", an album on which frontman Adam Young steers his songwriting into noticeably darker and more impulsive territory.
"Viper is about that feeling of being completely drawn to someone even though you can clearly see the warning signs - that urge to consciously make bad decisions just for the thrill of what comes next, whatever the consequences," Young explains. "You lose yourselves together in the moment. But no matter how deep you get into the Bonnie-and-Clyde fantasy, someone always ends up hurt."

Following a period of upheaval in late 2024, The Howlers entered a new chapter: frontman Adam Young rebuilt the band as a duo with drummer Toby Richards - a move that fundamentally reshaped both the sound and the creative direction, giving the band a new clarity and identity.

This reset came after a breakthrough year: the self-released debut album "What You've Got To Lose To Win It All" was celebrated across Europe, reaching the Top 10 of the UK Independent Breakers Charts and charting in several independent, vinyl and physical sales charts. The Howlers received support from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music and Radio X, among others.
