BOYS by COWER

“This is a wildly creative record from some wildly creative individuals” – The Sleeping Shaman

"This tantalisingly twisted concoction of noise and post punk is on another level. This album hits the sweet spot from cover to cover." – Rock Radio

“This is not the sum of the three talented people but something fresher and more exciting. 8/10” – Noizze

“How was I to know that this was the album I’d been looking for, that I needed in my life the last few months? With BOYS, Cower surprise and excel.” – Aural Aggravation

We’re thrilled to announce the next HUMAN WORTH physical release – The stunning debut LP 'BOYS' by new noise collective COWER. The album is the coming together of three incredible musicians – Gareth Thomas (USA Nails / Silent Front), Wayne Adams (Petbrick / Death Pedals / Big Lad) and Thomas Lacey (Yards / The Ghost of a Thousand) – who have brought all of their musical prowess to the record, weaving together layers of driving noise and gothic darkness to create a truly remarkable debut, which we couldn’t be more proud to be releasing!

We’ve pressed up a super limited edition of 150 hand numbered marbled gold vinyl, available with a range of different coloured sleeves designs by Thomas Lacey. Pre-order from 2nd October with 10% of the proceeds going to The Hackney Foodbank + Bandcamp’s usual 15% cut on the fee waiver days.

“As of 2019 Cower existed only as a logo and a half-formed idea between three long-term acquaintances, before rapidly thundering into a full album of songs after an intensive period of writing, recording and recrimination. Dark shapes formed in the music, and the debut LP 'BOYS' fills those shapes with tales of evil men, worthless men and shameful men, all wrapped in a dark gothic sheen. Forged in the bowels of Bear Bites Horse studios by Wayne Adams, the collective plan to bring others to the fold to help bring their expansive vision to stage in 2021 in venues across the country and over the tumultuous seas.”
