Howl at the Moon’s forthcoming full-length album is the culmination of five years of stretching and honing their live set in to a succinct but satisfying collection. A Howl at the Moon show will often see crowds stopped in their tracks, absorbed by squalls of songs that are played with tireless commitment and passion.

Founded in 2005 by principal songwriter Katie Scott (vocals/guitar) and Mark Renall (bass), the current line up has remained since 2007 when Michael Brennan (drums) and Matthew Storey (guitars) were recruited and began working through an extensive back-catalogue of Scott’s unrecorded material.

The nine songs captured on their debut album are in essence a band in the making. With tracking occurring over five days at Northcote’s Soundpark Studios, the band along with engineer and producer Myles Mumford (Lamplight, The Tiger & Me) set out to open up the songs and let the stories and perspectives contained within dictate the scope of the album. The result is as diverse as their live show, with the song-writing being showcased and augmented beautifully by the band’s arrangements.

From an outside perspective, the songs are very much an urban exploration of personal but universal themes – romantic disintegration, violence, self-sabotage. Yet in the face of such stormy weather the album remains truly hopeful.

Let The Mainsheet Down, My Love
rating:  5/5
There's a dark John Lennon vibe to this - especially in the chord progression. The more I hear this band, the more I want to hear more from this band.

Missed this song late last year, but glad I came across it now. It's a winner. Please tell me all your songs are this cool?

Really excellent song guys, there's a driving darkness to it but still plenty of melody and some tidy 90's riffs throughout. I like this a lot.
