On the weekend of an incredible #downloadfestival debut, I was joined backstage by Mikey and Al of “spooky band” THE HOWLING. We caught up on what it means to play Download, the making and early success of their debut EP, ‘Salvo’, out now. Plus, we talk tours with Creeper and shows with Starbenders and The Funeral Portrait, plans for the latter half of the year, working with Mikey Demus of Skindred, new music teasers, and The Howling’s Mikey reveals his favourite lyrics.
