King Howl

KING HOWL play HEAVY BLUES: the raw sounds of Son House, Howling Wolf and Charlie Patton are filtered by a multitude of different musical influences coming from stoner rock, 70’s classic rock, funk and punk, in a new crossover labored with spontaneity and naturalness, a flow of sounds that never stops. After a first three tracks Ep released in 2010, King Howl attracted conspicuous attention with “King Howl Quartet” (2012, produced by Talk About Records and distributed by Go Down Records), the first full-length that imposed a personal sound, pushed by singles like “Morning” and “Drunk”. In 2014, the 4-track “Truck Stop Ep” brought new nuances to the King Howl’s trademark, developing a more mature songwriting exposed in songs like “Kerouac” or “Time to say Goodbye”.

The band toured all Italy and central Europe several times (Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Hungary, Netherlands), often included in the bills of international festivals such as Pietrasonica Festival, Time in Jazz, Maximum Festival, Crumble Fight Fest, Freiburg Fuzz Fest, Swanflight Festival, opening (among others) for Fatso Jetson, Yawning Man, Greenleaf, My Sleeping Karma, Siena Root, Bob Margolin.

In July 2017, King Howl released their last full length called “Rougarou”. 10 tracks of blues fueled – booze soaked Rock’n’Roll. A new proof for the band’s peculiar sound defined through these years on the road.
