@thisishybrid: Gnarwolves take a bite out of Welly club in Hull

It seems like Gnarwolves are constantly on the road touring and for the most part that is true, as over 2015 they played shows for over half of the days in the year! Not bad for three guys from Brighton who still have part-time jobs! As they hit Hull again, they explain the reason they have come back is the support and reaction they received last time was overwhelming why not, this time in a bigger venue, The Welly club.

Headliners Gnarwolves certainly draw in a big crowd but the support bands, Woahnows & Broadbay also have some great tunes to share as their fan bases grow. First up for my interviews I chat to Broadbay who are fresh on the scene and friends of Gnarwolves hence their addition to the tour but their addition does feel worthwhile. Broadbay are just excited to be on the road and touring again, if you want a description of them, they would say “sloppy poppy grudge”, so check them out on the link below. Their live shows especially tonight is far from sloppy as they play tight jams with poetic and aggressive lyrics, overall an exciting vibe from exciting home grown talent.

The same can be said about fellow support friends Woahnows which seem to be everyone favourite new band after releasing their debut album, (Understanding and Everything Else) earlier this year. The album is an 11 track underground classic with lead single Puncher setting the scene for who this band are. The band have an American garage band vibe about them or dare I say it a pop/punk vibe however, they don’t stick to the usual formula currently seen by Neck Deep or Seaway aimed at mass market. As some of the lyrics are dark and deep yet have a catchy joyful feel to them. Just like Broadbay the songs transfer very well into a live setting complete with a buzzing atmosphere they almost out do Gnarwolves at getting the audience involved. So can’t wait to see them again!

Next up was Gnarwolves but could they out do Woahnows? Well yes but only just as they have a good collection of songs on which draw upon now for their sets. The crowd go even crazier for Gnarwolves as pits open up and people crowd surf like they are in California. Just like California the temperature and atmosphere in Welly tonight sizzles to new highs as no one is left out of the show from tune to tune the band deliver and then some. As they grow slightly older with their fan base is nice to see them not changing what got them to this position in the first place, playing honest, natural, punk tracks fast and loud. This will continue as they have just announced a pre order for their new EP called, Adolescence.
