PHWOAR - BIO
Hi! We're PHWOAR (pronounced 'F-war'), a fizzy alternative indie rock 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. Their first single 'Waiting for the Sun' came out to great reviews on Jan 20. Still to come are 'Surge' on Mar 21 and 'Tryhard' on April 4.
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.

Reckless - lyric
I used to think I would make something of myself
Everybody thinks they’re smarter than everyone else
Been cooped up in this warren, a burden to myself
And still I'm green as grass
Don’t care about your follows
I kinda like your memes
But did it ever happen if I can’t watch it on screen?
I’m feelin’ kinda lonely
The tech don’t work for me
But I’m starved for interaction with the friends I never see
I kinda like your memes
But did it ever happen if I can’t watch it on screen?
I’m feelin’ kinda lonely

Oh babe I couldn’t care less
Cos I’m feelin’ kinda reck reck reck reck reck reckless
I confess, I’m feeling reckless
I’m feeling drunk on all this information
Starting to feel numb with all this faux-participation
Reality is something I can’t grab and just hold on
It melts like snow in rain
Starting to feel numb with all this faux-participation
Reality is something I can’t grab and just hold on
It melts like snow in rain
I think I’ve got a problem
It looks like addiction
But how do you get sober when it afflicts everyone?
I’m talking to the robots
Communing with the sun
I want to break free, yea I’m about to come undone
