Howl Griff, formed in Wales in 2006, is a five-piece psychedelic rock band currently signed to the Dockrad' label.[1] The band contains members from Aberystwyth, Bolton, Merseyside and Texas but all currently live in London. They have released three albums: Howl Griff, in Welsh, and The Hum and Fragile Diamond, in English.

History

The band's first (Welsh-language) album, Howl Griff (2008), was released on the Dockrad label. It received airplay on BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Radio Wales, and the band appeared on S4C shows Bandit and Uned 5 playing songs from the album. Some of the tracks of the album were re-recorded in English and released later in 2008 as The English EP.

The band's second album, The Hum, was released in late 2010 on the Dockrad/Catdog Label and spawned the singles "Bluebirds", "Crash and Burn", "Devotion" and "Sunrise". Tracks from the album were played across BBC Radio 6 Music and described by Lauren Laverne as "bloody lush".[2]

The band's third album, Fragile Diamond, was released in October 2012.

In 2014, the band released new material, a double-A single, "We're Still Running" / "Backyard".
