Formed in Sydney and relocated to London , Howling Bells first captured ears and imaginations with their self-titled debut in 2006 - a noir-rock classic that fused moody atmospheres with melodic bite., gaining them widespread critical acclaim. They continued to develop sonically over three more albums - 2009’s ‘Radio Wars’, 2011’s ‘The Loudest Engine’ and 2014’s ‘Heartstrings’. Each of these records, with their own distinct musical persona never steered too far from that heady, submersive stew they're so notorious for - equal parts sepia-toned romance and gritty rock’n’roll thrills. There was no dramatic dissolution or even an announcement of an intended hiatus but, as Juanita explains, “life just happened” and the Bells rang silent for a decade. They are now thankfully chiming once more.
Howling Bells plays alternative rock with noir and goth influences, known for their critically acclaimed 2006 debut album released on Bella Union.
The current members of Howling Bells are Juanita Stein, Joel Stein, Brendan Picchio, and Glenn Moule.
Howling Bells originally formed in Sydney, Australia, before relocating to London, UK, where they are now based.
