Gearing up for their first UK headline tour later this Month, PHWOAR appear to be on an upward trajectory. The reason behind such a rising momentum might lie in their explosive, roaring musical output. You see, for being merely a duo, the Birmingham-based outfit exudes a striking amount of energy and aural charisma, blending drums and guitars into a post-punk, alt-rock bonanza that’s bound to conquer even the most apathetic of listeners. ‘So Much Better’ is the perfect example of that.
PHWOAR’s latest single, ‘So Much Better’ is a radiant example of playful, energetic and tongue-in-cheek rock goodness. Served on a burning plate by the talented humans behind the group, the record then transcends into a meaningful piece, thanks to PHWOAR’s observant and contemporary lyricism. You see, drummer Helena and guitarist Paul engage in a critical look at the modern social media environment, especially aimed at the many ways it causes people to misbehave.
It’s a captivating listening experience, one that we won’t be forgetting anytime soon. In fact, if you are in the UK at this present moment, you might want to catch the band live, as that’s where they shine the most (buy tickets here). ‘So Much Better’ benefits from the expert production of Adrian Hall (Tori Amos, Nova Twins, Depeche Mode). Delving deeper into the song, PHWOAR explains: “It explores the ways that the internet controls our habits, our likes, our attention and, ultimately, our buying power”.
