History

Formation and debut EP

Although originally from Cornwall, Gnarwolves formed in the later stages of 2011 in Brighton and by the end of the year released their debut EP Fun Club.[1]

CRU and Funemployed

The band spent much of the next 2 years touring the UK and Europe and in the summer of 2012 and 2013 would release both CRU AND Funemployed respectively. Both EP's would go on to garner wide critical acclaim and praise from mainstream publications such as Kerrang and Rock Sound among many others.[2][3][3][4][5] The band released a compilation album, Chronicles of Gnarnia, in February 2014 compiled of songs from Gnarwolves first three EPs.[6]

In August 2013, Gnarwolves featured on Mike Davies BBC Radio 1 and performed several tracks recorded in session at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios in London.[7]

Debut album

On July 15, 2014 Gnarwolves announced that their debut album would be called Gnarwolves and would be released on September 15, 2014 through BSM Recordings and Pure Noise Records with Zane Lowe featuring their new single Smoking Kills on his BBC Radio 1 show.[8][9][10][11]

The band opened for blink-182 on the Italian leg of their European tour and opened the main stage of Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2014.[12] The band went on their first ever USA tour in October 2014 alongside The Story So Far, The Wonder Years and Modern Baseball.[13]

Adolescence EP

On 13 November 2015, Gnarwolves released their fourth EP, Adolescence. Their vocalist and guitarist Thom stated that "this record definitely has a DC hardcore vibe to it. It’s heavy, it’s short, and it’s probably the most agitated we’ve sounded on record.".[14]

The release of Adolescence EP was followed by a European tour supported by Great Cynics then Boxkite from 17 November to 2nd Decmber. This was then followed by a UK tour with Spraynard and Such Gold between December 8–18.[15][16]
