After months of build-up, the electrifying duo Phwoar have released their new EP Flowers Through The Concrete a striking collection that cuts through the noise with themes of defiance and hope.
Phwoar – Flowers Through The Concrete
Following a run of standout singles, Phwoar, the indie rock duo of Helena and Paul have unveiled Flowers Through The Concrete, a five-track EP that channels hope as a form of resistance. Written and produced by the pair, the project also features production, mixing, and mastering from Adrian Hall (Tori Amos, Nova Twins, Depeche Mode), adding weight to its bold, self-made spirit.
The EP kicks-off with Reckless, a previously released track that remains one of Phwoar’s most energised offerings. Fueled by addictive guitar riffs and crashing drums, it sets the tone with a bold, high-octane sound that’s hard to ignore.
That momentum carries into Surge, a fiery protest anthem that fits seamlessly into the EP’s defiant spirit. With its driving rhythm and shout-along chorus, it’s both immediate and anthemic—built for volume, movement, and collective release.
Waiting For The Sun shifts the tone with a more introspective approach, offering a pause for reflection amid the EP’s intensity. Originally released as a single, it captures the heart of Flowers Through The Concrete—a search for resilience in the face of adversity. Gloomy production and shadowed lyrics deepen its melancholic edge, reinforcing the EP’s core message.
The title track finds a striking balance between reflection and raw force. Flowers Through The Concrete lands hard with its anti-war topic, delivered through heavy riffs and a performance steeped in nostalgia. It’s a standout moment—thought-provoking, emotionally loaded, and unflinching in its delivery.
Closing the record with the same untamed energy it began with, Tryhard delivers a punchy performance and a sharp theme—this time with a tongue-in-cheek twist. It’s a playful yet pointed finale that wraps the EP on a high note, leaving things as satisfying as a five-course meal.
“Flowers Through The Concrete stands out as a compelling release. Its bold themes and memorable sound come together in a way that invites repeat listens. It’s the kind of EP that lingers and stays relevant well beyond its first play.”
Alongside the release of Flowers Through The Concrete, Phwoar are gearing up for their first-ever UK headline tour this autumn. Keep an eye on their socials for updates and tour details.
