about

From our first recording session, at London's famous Tin Pan Alley studios. A shuffling psych-rock pleasure which builds into a heartfelt climax, it was a long-time staple in the live set – but, y'know, new songs come along and you have to shake things up... it's still a thing of beauty, arguably best enjoyed in the late evening in a horizontal position.

lyrics

LYRICS
We can be heroes
Fill up the space, countdown to zero
We will do nothing in particular
We will risk not knowing another

I wouldn't ever want it to be this way

After all we came from the gutter
To sun our lives under bus shelters
The magic eye reveals the centre
Of the universe isn't a wonder

I wouldn't ever want it to be this way

I don't wanna wait all my life

about

It's tough to pigeonhole Howl Griff. Hailing from Aberystwyth, Bolton, Merseyside and Texas, they're a little bit new wave, ... more a little bit psychedelic, a little bit rock and a little bit pop. They sing in multi-part harmony in English or Welsh. BBC 6music's Lauren Laverne calls them "lush... a new band we love", and The Independent calls them "life-affirming". They'll make you glad you listened. less
