Scowl – “Tonight (I’m Afraid)”

In one month, the great Santa Cruz band Scowl will release Are We All Angels, their second full-length and their first for new label Dead Oceans. Before the album was even announced, the conversation around it took a predictable turn. Scowl started out as a scrappy hardcore band, and they’ve grown more polished and melodic with every new release. That talk isn’t going to stop with the release of another advance track. Instead, Scowl’s new song “Tonight (I’m Afraid)” shows how they’re integrating their early sound with the brighter, more melodic approaches that they’ve learned over the years.
