PHWOAR - BIO
Hi! We're PHWOAR, a fizzy indie-alternative-rock (or whatever) two-piece from Birmingham, with DIY sensibilities and catchy tunes.
Extra information: PHWOAR are Helena pounding drums and Paul thrashing guitar, with both sharing the vocal duties. We are Brummie banter and Northern grit forged anew in the cauldron of life.
Exciting things are happening in 2025 as we gear up to release our EP 'Flowers Through the Concrete' in April. This will be preceded by the singles Waiting for the Sun' on Jan 20, 'Reckless' on Feb 21, and 'Surge' on Mar 14.
The record was written and produced by ourselves, with Adrian Hall (Tori Amos, Nova Twins, Depeche Mode) also producing, as well as mixing and mastering.

IN THE PRESS
“Reminiscent of Nirvana and an English Kurt Cobain, Phwoar have released another banger of a tune with ‘Landslide’.” Turtle Tempo
“...a catchy slice of fuzzed-out garage rock, tinged with dark ‘80s nu-wave vibes and swirling harmonies.” Get In Her Ears
“...another track that celebrates euphorically the good things in life and puts a smile firmly on your face, much needed in these times and it just happens that it’s also a bloody good song.” Alive and Gigging
“This is a band that is worth getting behind.” About the noise
