HOWLING BELLS
howlingbells.co.uk

It's been a while since we last mentioned Australia (now England) Howling Bells. The last news I heard from the band was that they've released Heartstrings last Summer 2014 via Birthday Records.

I don't think the band tour America all that often, at least not since 2009 when they opened up for Coldplay and Pete Yorn! It should then be no big surprise that Coldplay producer Ken Nelson recorded Heartstrings.

Track listing:

1. Paris
2. Possessed
3. Your Love
4. Slowburn
5. Tornado
6. Euphoria
7. Paper Heart
8. Original Sin
9. Reverie
10. Heartstrings

NIGHT RIOTS

Howl is the new EP from California's Night Riots. The EP landed January 20th via Sumerian Records.

Howl was written while the band was touring in promotion of their 2013 EP release, Young Lore: "We escaped and hit away at Palmquist Studios with our producer [Eric Palmquist], driving out our demons, exploring them and channeling the stories into our music," explains Hawley. "We pushed ourselves harder than we ever have before to break free of any creative boxes we had surrounded ourselves with in the past. What we came up with were songs written for the night. They are songs for driving at dusk through the desert or for lightless back roads with the moon coming through the trees. They are stories of life's yearning and acceptance along with the duality of life... that without darkness there is no light."
