Set in a hauntingly surreal arcade, the video follows the band as they slip from idle amusement into something far more suffocating. In support of the album, Scowl has also announced a run of summer tour dates, kicking off July 16th in Las Vegas and hitting cities like Portland, Seattle, and Denver before wrapping August 1st in Iowa. Glixen will provide support. These dates come in addition to previously announced shows across the EU, UK, and Mexico, with more tour dates to be announced soon. Full dates below. Produced by Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight, Mannequin Pussy) and mixed by Rich Costey (Fiona Apple, My Chemical Romance, Vampire Weekend), the album finds the venomous and antagonistic band funneling their aggression through a more expansive version of themselves. It’s already garnered the attention of The New York Times, Pitchfork, NPR, FADER and many more. Scowl has also announced their Late Night TV debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on April 9th. The album features previously released singles and videos “Special”, “B.A.B.E”, “Not Hell Not Heaven” and “Tonight (I’m Afraid)”. Stream Are We All Angles HERE At every turn on Are We All Angels, the band explores ambitious new directions and bends genre norms. Moss makes the most immediately noticeable evolution, dropping some of the gnarly bite of the band’s previous work in favor of a more textured and sometimes delicate approach. She flexes harmonies and melodic sensibilities that might surprise even the most dedicated Scowl fans. Moss cites a wide array of influences outside the realm of hard rock—everything from Billie Eilish to Radiohead, Car Seat Headrest to Julien Baker. “The majority of us were really not proficient musicians when this band started,” she admits. “It was very Germs-esque in that way, like baby’s first hardcore band, which is awesome. But now, we still might not know what we’re doing, but we have a better idea of what we want to do.” Instrumentally the band cites influence from Negative Approach, Bad Brains, Hole, Mudhoney Garbage, Ramones, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Rocket From The Crypt among others. Bassist Bailey Lupo notes “The song writing on the new record was the most collaborative to date in Scowl’s history. Everyone brought so many ideas to the table and we were able to dissect it all and take our time. We all have such eclectic tastes, influences and personalities and you can really hear that in every corner on this album.” Even through this more eclectic approach, Scowl loses none of their edge and still manages to convey the anger and frustration that lies underneath. They are deeply committed to carrying the ethos of punk and its sense of community. “Hardcore and punk have sculpted how we operate, what we want to do as a band, and how we participate,” says Greene. “At our core, we are a punk and a hardcore band, regardless of how the song shifts and changes.” SCOWL TOUR DATES  April 2025 4.12.25 – Indieplaza @ Rockefeller Center, New York, NY, USA – Hives May 2025 5.5.25 – Rebellion, Manchester, UK ^ 5.6.25 – Newgate Social, Newcastle, UK ^ 5.7.25 – Cathouse, Glasgow, UK ^ 5.8.25 – Thekla, Bristol, UK ^ 5.9.25 – The Dome, London, UK ^ 5.10.25 – Kavka, Antwerp, Belgium ^ 5.11.25 – Tivoli Pandora, Utrecht, Netherlands ^ 5.13.25 – Hole 44, Berlin, Germany ^ 5.14.25 – Gebäude 9, Köln, Germany ^ 5.16.25 – L’Boat, Bordeaux, France ^ 5.17.25 – Stage Live, Bilbao, Spain ^ 5.18.25 – LAV 2, Lisbon, Portugal ^ 5.20.25 – Mon, Madrid, Spain ^ 5.21.25 – La2, Barcelona, Spain ^ 5.22.25 – Marché Gare, Lyon, France ^ 5.23.25 – Trabendo, Paris, France ^ 5.24.25 – Slam Dunk, Hatfield Park, Hatfield, UK 5.25.25 – Slam Dunk, Leeds, UK June 2025 6.6.25 – Gato Calavera, Mexico City, Mexico 6.7.25 – Día Libre Festival, Monterrey, Mexico 6.8.25 – Foro Independencia, Guadalajara, Mexico 6.11.25 – Black Box, Tijuana, Mexico 6.14-15.25 – Warped Tour, Washington, DC, USA 6.16.25 – Warehouse, Richmond, VA, USA $ 6.17.25 – Eulogy, Asheville, NC, USA $ 6.19.25 – Ottobar, Baltimore, MD, USA $ 6.20.25 – Camp Punksylvania, Gilbert, PA, USA July 2025 7.16.25 – Grey Witch, Las Vegas, NV, USA # 7.17.25 – Strummers, Fresno, CA, USA # 7.18.25 – Cypress, Reno, CA, USA # 7.20.25 – Hawthorne Theater, Portland, OR, USA # 7.22.25 – Barboza, Seattle, WA, USA # 7.23.25 – Shredder, Boise, ID, USA # 7.24.25 – Soundwell, Salt Lake City, UT, USA # 7.26.25 – Unhinged Festival, Denver, CO, USA 7.28.25 – Reverb, Omaha, NE, USA # 7.29.25 – Fine Line, Minneapolis, MN, USA # 7.30.25 – X-Ray, Milwaukee, WI, USA # August 2025 8.1.25 – Hinterland Music Festival, St. Charles, IA, USA September 2025 9.20.25 – Shaky Knees Festival, Atlanta, GA, USA October 2025 10.2-5.25 – Aftershock Festival, Sacramento, CA, USA November 2025 11.14-15.25 – Warped Tour, Orlando, FL, USA * ^ = w/ Modern Color Support * # = w/ Glixen * $ = w/ Drain Support
