She is joined by the rest of the band, guitarists Malachi Greene and Mikey Bifolco, bassist Bailey Lupo, and drummer Cole Gilbert, who squeeze in tightly on the green room couch. They are anticipating another high-energy show but are quick to explain how life on the road nearly broke them physically and mentally. \u201cEveryone in the band had their own personal nightmares that were going on simultaneously as we were touring,\u201d Moss says of the two years they spent in 2022 and 2023 playing live without any real break. \u201cI felt like I had nothing left to give.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            The strain of being on the road for long stretches of time was heightened by breakups and deaths back home. And even though the band became more and more successful \u2014 Post Malone and Hayley Williams of Paramore are fans \u2014 they were also met with a wave of cruel and sexist backlash from those in the hardcore community who felt they were breaking the rules. <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social media<\/a> and message boards filled with criticism of the sound of Scowl\u2019s music, specifically the way Moss layers the band\u2019s rough and rumble riffs with bright, catchy pop melodies. The noise extended to their decision to play a Taco Bell-sponsored halftime show during the 2023 Women\u2019s World Cup. Militarie Gun, a fellow hardcore band with no female members, also played the show but somehow escaped the same keyboard scrutiny.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Scowl don\u2019t back down easily, though. Their second album, <i>Are We All Angels<\/i>, is the sound of a band who have reached their breaking point and, miraculously, come out stronger as a result. Across 11 punchy and groove-laden songs the band wrestle with their frustrations and grief, mourning their losses while driving toward a more sustainable future. The band recorded the album with producer Will Yip, known for his work with Turnstile and Mannequin Pussy, who adds sheen and muscle.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Hardcore purists will no doubt balk at the band sw<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing legendary label Flatspot Records for a new home on Dead Oceans, making them label mates with Phoebe Bridgers and Japanese Breakfast. As Moss points out, though, their critics don\u2019t exist IRL. \u201cAn important thing to remember is that a lot of the polarization and intensity only really exists on the internet,\u201d she says. \u201cThat is something that&#8217;s helped me deal with it all, because it kind of bummed me the fuck out for a long time.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Speaking to Scowl and listening to <i>Are We All Angels<\/i>, it\u2019s clear the band has a love-hate relationship with the world they inhabit, though they don\u2019t let that get to them. \u201cNone of us are in this for the money. We&#8217;re in this because we love music,\u201d Green says. \u201cWhat we love about punk music is that the performance is always fueled by catharsis. As long as we have that we will keep on touring forever.\u201d\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269515\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left embed\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Scowl - Fantasy (Official Video)\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VEro4qn5RcE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269518\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <b>The FADER: The new album is titled <i>Are We All Angels<\/i>.

I was thinking about how, in the Bible, angels are soldiers that carry out acts of violence. Traditionally, they&#8217;re very powerful and also seen as free of sin. That duality is really fascinating when you unpack it and you compare it to us citizens going through personal griefs. Expanding that onto a bigger level, I started thinking about how we as individuals don\u2019t really have power over our narrative. That\u2019s true on a sociopolitical level but it also extends into our subculture and our personal relationships. <i>Are We All Angels<\/i> represents the idea that nobody is a perfect victim.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-269517\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left pull_quote\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"pull_quote\"><p>\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to be in a band that is opening up the art form and making people talk.

People don\u2019t like it when you do your own thing. When you work outside of a strict definition of what people think a genre should be, when you go against the grain, miserable people don\u2019t like to see you do that. We\u2019re happy individuals, we&#8217;re having fun, touring, and making shit happen on our terms. So if people are gonna hate you for that then that&#8217;s okay. They can hate me all they fucking want. I&#8217;m gonna keep doing it and we&#8217;re gonna keep doing it.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Moss: People in hardcore and punk do question and challenge the things around them. Like, that is the whole fucking point. So, while it is painful at times to feel rejected by something that we love so much, it\u2019s also a relief to see kids questioning things. Not the misogyny, obviously, but it\u2019s exciting to be in a band that is opening up the art form and making people talk.

Those things rearrange you on a molecular level. Trauma is rewiring our brains every single day. I wrote a lot of the songs about the pain I was experiencing and the disconnect I felt being on tour nonstop and unable to exist in my body and in my brain. When we finally got into the studio after two solid years on the road, everybody unloaded about how hard they had found it. Even though we loved it and it was a dream experience, it also costs you your selfhood and your personal life.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Lupo: I think we all went through different forms of grief. Either losing people or going through tumultuous, home relationships. There was a lot going on and there was no time to deal with it. So it just kind of sat and festered and decayed, and that was really fucking painful.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Moss: I just shut down and disassociated. Looking back, it was really unhealthy. When we were in the studio it quickly became apparent that this was gonna be quite a heavy album in the lyrical sense. I was ready to open that faucet.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            <b>The album is dark lyrically but musically it\u2019s moving in an ever more poppy direction. What was it like working with Will Yip on this record? <\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Greene: Will\u2019s great. He just elevates your work and helps bring out the best version of the song. He\u2019s never been the guy that will say, \u2018Your band should sound like this.\u2019 When we were discussing this album within the band, it was never a case of wanting to chase a more mainstream sound.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>What was it you were chasing?<\/b>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Lupo: We wanted to experiment more with more influences. We were able to experiment with more melody instrumentally as well as in Kat\u2019s vocals. It was a case of let&#8217;s just have fun and see what comes of it.

We dropped things that were gonna pay us a lot of money because we didn&#8217;t agree with what they were doing. Things that people know about publicly and things that people don&#8217;t know about. We dropped out of playing [U.K. festival] Download because of their Barclays sponsorship and the ties to funding the Israeli army. We dropped South by Southwest and Welcome to Rockville Festival because of their ties to the U.S. army and weapons manufacturers. We don\u2019t see the U.S. army as having any place in the music world.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <b>You have clearly been through a lot together as a band.

The album is so personal that it feels like an extension of us all as people. It has brought us closer together in that sense. It feels like a blood pact.
