THE GROWL ANNOUNCE OFFICIAL SINGLE LAUNCH SHOW!
NEW SINGLE ‘CLEAVER LEVER’ – OUT NOW
One of the standouts from Brisbane’s BigSound conference last week, The Growl have
announced their official Cleaver Lever single launch, happening at Perth’s Villa on
Friday 19 October.
In Brisbane, The Growl played to a sweaty crowd who were packed to the rafters at
the suitable grimy Ric’s Bar. Their loud trashcan rock blew the eardrums of the
unsuspecting bystanders, and in their hometown, this newly announced single launch
show will be no less hard-hitting. Locals Felicity Groom, Maurice Flavel and Band
will all be there in support.
Listening to The Growl’s colossal sound – built up in layers of percussion, with
guitar tones one music critic aptly described as leaving the taste of iron on your
tongue – it is hard to believe the band began as simply as a bedroom recording
project between two friends.
In December last year the band locked themselves and a stack of old recording gear
into a derelict and deserted loft above the streets of Perth city. With the roof
literally coming down around them they set about recording their debut album. Eight
months later the first single is ready to be released. Confusingly titled Cleaver
Lever, the same name as their debut EP, the track embodies the evolution of The
Growl’s sound. The album is on it’s way…
The Growl have had a fairly speedy rise to prominence. In addition to being
Unearthed by triple j for the Big Day Out in 2012, the band found a very strong
grassroots following upon debuting as a live act in 2010. Community radio loved
them, other bands loved them, and within a year The Growl were capable of selling
out big shows to an increasingly diverse audience.
Cleaver Lever is a significant event in this continuing evolution of the band.
Intense and sideways, but also so familiar and beautiful-sounding, Cleaver Lever is
a lot of different things rolled into one… and while journalists often find
themselves describing The Growl in vivid and colourful language, the common
consensus is always that there is just something inexplicable and magical to what
this band can do. See it for yourself at Villa in Perth on Friday 19 October.
Cleaver Lever is available to purchase now on iTunes. The Growl’s new album is soon
to be released, more information coming soon!
