about

“It ain’t bragging if you can back it up.” – Muhammad Ali

It’s rock ’n’ roll, babies! Freakin’ the beat and pumping the punk muscles, the man-children are drivin’ sonic switchblades in the earholes. The Yowl be rockin’ and rollin’, children! EP #2 be born! Lipstick on the holy 12-bar blues in leather-clad fury: it’s the Apocalips!

Produced by Jonathan James (Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsen) in Queen City, MO, Apocalips comes hard and unapologetic. The Yowl’s boogieman awakens in trash-garage wonderland, caterwauling in a streamlined climax of unbridled energy. Sylvain Sylvain of The New York Dolls joins the band on “Get Off” and adds heavy cream with wail and moan to the sleaze romp. On Apocalips, it remains: Rock ’n’ Roll had a baby and they named it the Yowl.

The Yowl has shared the stage with Chuck Berry and collaborated with Brother Wayne Kramer (MC5). Live, the band is hell on heels, filled in the spirit of rock ’n’ roll action. Apocalips, released by St. Louis garage label, Trouble In River City (TIRC) Records, is NOW!

WHAT PEOPLE BE SAYIN’ ABOUT “THE APOCALIPS”

“Oh man, workin’ with the Yowl is one of the coolest things I did in 2013; it was totally tits! Music is only good when it swings, and swing is what we rock ’n’ rollers did.” - Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls)

“Dig it... got that Bo Diddley thing going on!” – James Williamson (Iggy and the Stooges)
