Album: Are We All Angels - Green

Scowl is a band that sounds exactly like their name implies.

Venomous, fierce, antagonistic. A sneer not to be crossed. Over the last five

years, the Santa Cruz, California, band has firmly planted their flag in the

hardcore scene with their vicious sound and ripping live show, sharing stages

around the world with Circle Jerks, Touché Amoré, and Limp Bizkit, and filling

slots at prominent festivals like Coachella, Sick New World, and Reading and

Leeds. But with their new album, Are We All Angels (Dead Oceans), Scowl is

aiming to funnel all that aggression through a more expansive version of

themselves.

Much of Are We All Angels grapples with Scowl's newfound place in

the hardcore scene, a community which has both embraced the band and

made them something of a lightning rod over the past few years. Standout

single "Not Hell, Not Heaven" outright rejects the narratives cast onto them by

outsiders. "It's about feeling victimized and being a victim, but not wanting to

identify with being a victim," explains vocalist Kat Moss. "It's trying to find grace

in the fact that I have my power. I live in my reality. You have to deal with

whatever you're dealing with, and it ain't working for me." The band breaks from

a sense of disassociation to seek deeper connections on "Fantasy." "It's

incredibly challenging to try to balance my love for the scene while also feeling,

in some spaces, extremely alienated and hated," Moss says. "'Fantasy' is about

feeling like I don't know how to connect with these people anymore, because I

have shelled myself away so hard."

The album ends in a philosophical place on the closing, titular track,

"Are We All Angels," asking questions like, "Is this all there is?" and ultimately

putting it on the listener to decide. "It's about the personal struggle between

good and evil. It doesn't matter how 'good' or 'bad' you are, there are systems

that will try to rewrite your narrative no matter what you actually do," explains

Moss, noting that punctuation on "Are We All Angels" has been deliberately

omitted in an attempt to leave the statement open-ended. Are We All Angels is

the highly anticipated follow-up to Scowl's debut, 2021's How Flowers Grow, a

16-minute primal scream over punishing riffs. But amidst the pounding chaos, it

was the record's sonic outlier, a cleaner interlude called "Seeds to Sow," that,

true to it's name, planted the seed for what was to come for the band. "It kind of

laid out this destiny for us, and I feel like now we're fulfilling that," says drummer

Cole Gilbert. The band continued to expand their sound on 2023's widely

acclaimed Psychic Dance Routine EP, incorporating more pop hooks and

favoring gentler singing over heavy screaming, paving the way for what would

come next.

Scowl's growth got a huge boost from producer Will Yip (Turnstile,

Title Fight, Code Orange, Balance and Composure), who broadened the band's

scope. "Will would say, 'Everything you have here is correct, but it's in the wrong

place,'" says Gilbert. Moss adds: "Will really helped restructure a lot of the

material. Some songs he tore apart to make more space for the really good

hooks and choruses." But even through this more eclectic approach, Scowl

loses none of their edge, and still manages to convey the anger and frustration

that lies underneath. They are deeply committed to carrying the ethos of punk

and it's sense of community. "Hardcore and punk have sculpted how we

operate, what we want to do as a band, and how we participate," says guitarist

Malachi Greene. "At our core, we are a punk and a hardcore band, regardless of

how the song shifts and changes."

At Third Eye, we ship thousands of comics every week, and we know condition matters. Whether you're reading, collecting, or grading, we want you to feel confident when a Third Eye package arrives.

This policy outlines our standard for new release and shipped comics, and the industry-standard guidelines we follow.

OUR STANDARD

Books without a stated grade will be offered as Near Mint 9.4 or better. We do not guarantee 9.8 condition on any book unless specifically noted.

We use industry-standard grading guidelines from:

If you're new to comic grading, the resources above are a great place to start.

WHY WE DON'T GUARANTEE 9.8

Modern comic printing is an imperfect process. Books are printed in massive
runs, bound at high speed, and shipped in bulk to retailers. Even brand
new books off the truck will exhibit minor production characteristics,
and that's normal, and consistent with industry standards across every
retailer.

A 9.8 grade represents near-perfection, and the reality is that not every printed book qualifies for that grade no matter where you buy it from.

We can absolutely commit to NM 9.4 or better. We cannot commit to 9.8 on every book, because that's not how comics are made.

WHAT QUALIFIES AS NM 9.4

Per industry standards, a book may exhibit the following minor characteristics and still grade as Near Mint 9.4, as long as there's no accumulation of defects:

Bindery characteristics:

  • Minor to moderate corner tears
  • White edges along the spine (common on most modern printings)
  • Covers slightly offset from interior pages (common on cardstock covers)

Printing characteristics:

  • Slight color rub on back covers
  • Small paper wrinkles present from the paper roll prior to printing
  • Wavy paper texture from the printing process

Spine characteristics:

  • 2-3 small color-breaking spine ticks
  • Minor non-color-breaking spine dings

These are normal modern production characteristics, not damage from handling or shipping. They are present on books across the industry, regardless
of retailer.

OUR RETURN & EXCHANGE POLICY

We do not accept returns or exchanges on books that meet our NM 9.4 or better standard.

We will replace or refund:

  • Books damaged during shipping (clear shipping damage, not pre-existing print characteristics)
  • Books that fall below NM 9.4 standard (significant spine damage, major creasing, tears, etc.)
  • Wrong cover or wrong issue shipped

For premium variants (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, 1:250, 1:500 incentive covers, signed editions, exclusive variants), we apply enhanced QC during pull and packing. If a premium variant arrives outside our standard, contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a replacement.
