The Howlers Are Back! New Single ‘You Can Be So Cruel’ Out Now

Following the release of single ‘Night Crawling’ earlier this year and the independent success of the bands debut album in 2024 which saw the band claim a Top 15 Official Chart Position, The Howlers saunter back into frame ahead of their biggest shows to date with new single ‘You Can Be So Cruel’.

‘You Can Be So Cruel’, isn't shy or reticent in its meaning, it's a confident and sultry anti love letter, a memory of those late nighter rendezvous that goaded you into a confrontational position, the stranger sauntering around your favourite bar with confident intent on pursuing whatever crosses their mind.

After recording in studios for the bands debut album, frontman Young decided to set himself a challenge and make a record that sounds better, without stepping foot in a studio, So all the vocals, all the guitars, all the synths are recorded at home and over skype & teams with producer Chris Ostler, the idea was to make a record that breaks the mould on what is possible.

Speaking About the track, Frontman Adam Young says: “The track is an anti love letter, We have all been swept up in the way we feel about someone that we ignore the warning signs and end up getting hurt. The track is a confident F*** You directed at those people, Im sure there will be people who hear this track and immediately think of someone in particular who made them ignore all the signs”

With hints of the bands eagerly anticipated sophomore album on the way, The Howlers and Young are fully intent to follow up on last year's debut album chart success with a bold and alluring new direction

London desert-rockers The Howlers have never strayed from their open and honest approach to musicianship, quickly identifying themselves as one of the UK’s must-see acts, The Bands Debut Album ‘What you've got to lose to win it all’ is surely a body of work set to outshine their previous accomplishments, Gaining much deserved praise from Rolling Stone Magazine, Classic Rock and much more here in the UK and across Europe reaching a Official Charts Top 15 position as a wholly independent artist and various Top 10 positions on the continent, solidifying their place as one of the UK’s most unique independent bands, in a class of their own.

The band announced their biggest shows ever set for October/November 2025 including what is set to be a triumphant hometown show at London’s, Scala on October 2nd.
