Gnarwolves premiere ‘Bottle To Bottle’ at Huck

There’s little that can prepare you for a Gnarwolves gig. Mid-way through their set at Brighton’s Great Escape festival earlier this year, half the band had flung themselves into the crowd and the stage was covered with sweaty punters who’d worked themselves into a punk-fuelled frenzy. Although, trying to tell the two apart was nigh-on impossible.
At their debut album launch party in Camden, a skateboard flew into the crowd and kicked off an impromptu trick-for-trick contest come mosh pit. Now, was that before or after someone got the inevitable truck to the face? Who cares… it’s just another day rolling with the Gnarwolves CRU.
The Brighton-based Cornish skate rats have just released their new music video ‘Bottle to Bottle’ and you can watch it before anyone else right here. It’s been a big 12 months that have seen Thom, Charlie and Max smashing festival stages, making DIY tour van repairs, setting fire to shit and street ripping just about everywhere they go.
“This year has been massive for us and especially the summer, so we decided to take our friend on tour and he filmed the whole thing up to Reading and Leeds, bassist Charlie explains. “So here it is, starting up in UK through to Europe and ending at one of the craziest experiences of our lives! Reading! Here’s to punk rock!”
Catch Gnarwolves on tour around the UK, November 30 – December 12.
