Santa Cruz hardcore band Scowl announced their new album, Are We All Angels, last month and have now returned with their latest offering, "B.A.B.E" Equal parts relentless hardcore and infectious hooks, the track leans into the band’s distinctive blend of raw aggression and undeniable catchiness. Accompanying the release is a video of BTS footage from their life on the road—a fitting visual, given Scowl’s relentless touring schedule that has made stages across the world feel like home.

The band notes: “Burned At Both Ends is another explosion of emotions stemming from both overwhelm and excitement. We felt that the song’s punchy nature and quick switches from melody to scrapping angst resembles a mature version of “Shot Down” from our “Psychic Dance Routine” EP. Lyrically B.A.B.E dives into our vitriol for the extreme circumstances we as a band subject ourselves too in order to live our dreams." “  

"B.A.B.E" follows "Not Heaven, Not Hell," a track that defiantly rejects the narratives imposed on them by outsiders, and "Special," a song that channels big, anthemic energy without sacrificing the band’s unfiltered intensity. With each release, Are We All Angels continues to shape up as a defining statement for one of hardcore’s most vital and dynamic bands.
