History

Formation, and early recordings (2011–13)

Although originally from Cornwall, Gnarwolves formed in the later stages of 2011 in Brighton and on December 1, the band released their debut EP, Fun Club.[1] Although, the EP would later be re-released in July 16, 2012 sporting a different album cover, with four more songs covering the bands of; Converge, Green Day, Black Flag and AFI.[2]

The band spent much of the next two years touring the United Kingdom and Europe. On July 16, 2012 the band would release their second EP, CRU. In just under one year later the band would also release their third EP, Funemployed. Both EP's would go on to garner wide critical acclaim and praise from mainstream publications such as Kerrang! and Rock Sound among many others.[3][4][5]

Chronicles of Gnarnia, debut album, and Adolescence (2014–present)

On the 24 February 2014 the band released a compilation album, Chronicles of Gnarnia, compiled of songs from Gnarwolves first three EPs.[6] Absolute Punk stated that "Chronicles of Gnarnia is not just a measurement of tales over time, but how genuine the band is. They don't care to play by the rules of typical pop punk as their influences stretch between emo, hardcore, folk punk and alternative pop.". [7]

On July 15, 2014 Gnarwolves announced that their debut album would be called Gnarwolves and would be released on September 15, 2014 through Pure Noise Records with Zane Lowe featuring their new single Smoking Kills on his BBC Radio 1 show.[8][9][10][11]

The band opened for Blink-182 on the Italian leg of their European tour and opened the main stage of Reading and Leeds Festivals in 2014.[12] The band went on their first ever United States tour in October 2014 alongside The Story So Far, The Wonder Years and Modern Baseball.[13]

On 13 November 2015, Gnarwolves released their fourth EP, Adolescence.[14] The release of Adolescence was followed by a European tour supported by Great Cynics then Boxkite from November 17, to December 2. This was then followed by a tour in the United Kingdom with Spraynard and Such Gold between December 8–18.[15][16]
