用国外媒体的话说就是继承早期的The Ramones与现在的The Strokes，来自美国的Minneapolis的5个小伙扛起Fuzzed-out式的吉他摇滚大旗。Howler与其他新乐队一样，朋友连带关系的完成于2010年，而这时领军人物主唱Jordan Gatesmith才只有19岁。2011年的年初发行了乐队的首张EP《This One’s Different》，随后在夏天乐队正式签约Rough Trade厂牌。首张专辑《America Give Up》一问世许多媒体就找到了相似点，那就是The Strokes。从Howler不难听到The Strokes身上的东西，我想这也是Rough Trade在听到Howler的DEMO后可以将这笔音乐生意做成的原因，要知道给予Howler这样名不经传的新乐队一纸合约不是件容易事，Howler给你的不是天花乱坠的宣布和美语，而是再纯粹不过的Rock ‘n’ Roll。开篇的“Beach Sluts”摩登式的节奏，宣告Howler是新时代产物，懂得“花言巧语”。“Back To The Grave”是吉他节奏的有力表现，“This One’s Different”是Howler最早完成的歌曲，带着浓厚的复古气息。“Back Of Your Neck” 推进有劲的节奏，还有那穿插哼唱的“woo-woo-woo-woooo”精彩无比。我想“Wailing (Making Out)”是最能体现Howler当时接受采访时说要做一张’Dirty Rock ‘n’ Roll’专辑的想法，Fuzz无极限。《America Give Up》是Howler咆哮出来的，丝毫没有蜜语糖衣，全是最简单直白的Rock ‘n’ Roll。
