January 13, 2012

Local act Howler has had quite a year. They were signed by the renowned London-based label Rough Trade, home to the likes of British Sea Power, Belle and Sebastian and My Morning Jacket. NME named them one of the best new bands of 2011, and they're about to kick off a tour with stops in Europe and Japan. With the release of their new album, America Give Up, 2012 looks to be just as good for the band.

Howler stopped by The Current studio and spoke to Mary Lucia about their recent tours with Tapes 'n Tapes and The Vaccines, the sort of fans they attract, and roommates.

Songs played: "America," "This One's Different," and "Back of Your Neck."
