Sam Griffiths, Bradley Blackwell, Conor Hirons and Jack Williams are a York (UK)-based 4-piece who go by the name The Howl & The Hum. They combine their rumbling, melodic dark pop with post-punk influences, haunting, evocative lyrics, and a hypnotic yet energetic live show. They’ve just finished piecing together their debut album with producer Jolyon Thomas (Slaves, Kendrick Lamar, Royal Blood).

Ahead of it, the band return with their first track of 2019: Hall Of Fame. A song with a soaring chorus, and a sound that lies between The Killers and Keane. Frontman Griffiths calls it “more furious than anything the band have done before.”
