PHWOAR - 'Surge'

Birmingham two-piece PHWOAR continue to dazzle us with their own blend of angry-pop-grunge with furious new single 'Surge'.

Taking on a disco drumbeat at it's core - 'Surge' sees the band push to newer levels - providing us with a taster od what is in story with their debut EP 'Flowers Through The Concrete' - due out 11th April. An empowering journey - it creates the perfect alt-rock anthem. Made for warm-messy venues and sun-fuelled mud coated festival crowds.

A perfect blend.
