Howler

If you haven't listened to Howler yet... you should. They are my new fave band. Their debut album, America Give Up, is constantly on repeat on my itunes. And that's because quite simply, they're bloody amazing.
Howler are the next big thing to come out the U.S. Their music is raw, pure and influential. Their album demonstrates rock music at it's best, and I can almost guarantee that by the end of the year, everyone will know exactly who Howler are. Their edgy rock music clearly has influences of The Strokes, and I even dare to say that this band could be the new 'Strokes'. Howler seem to skilfully blend the 90's grungy American rock with old school Rock n Roll with the more modern sounds heard in bands like the Vaccines, all the while creating something new and fresh in the music scene. Their lyrics are catchy, with hints of irony and satire. Of course it also helps that Jordan Gatesmith, the lead singer and mind behind the band, has the sort of voice which simply commands attention, and everyone falls in love with.
Howler are definitely one to watch, and if you don't already own their album then I strongly recommend you get on itunes right now and download it. If you only buy one album this year it should be this one.
