Scowl 'Are We All Angels'

On 'Are We All Angels', Scowl expands their hardcore roots into bold new territory, channeling raw aggression through melodic experimentation and emotional clarity. The Santa Cruz band—known for their snarling energy and fiery presence—teams up with producer Will Yip to stretch their sound without losing their edge. Sharp hooks, vulnerable lyrics, and genre-blurring structures elevate this as their most ambitious and revealing work to date.

From the defiant roar of “Not Hell, Not Heaven” to the aching disconnection in “Fantasy” and the existential weight of the closing title track, the album explores identity, power, and alienation within a changing scene. It's a response to the noise around them and a reclamation of narrative, fueled by punk ethos and a fearless push beyond boundaries. 'Are We All Angels' is not just a question—it’s a provocation, and Scowl asks it with sharpened riffs, emotional depth, and unapologetic force.
