The Mowgli’s new track ‘Fighting With Yourself’ narrates accepting change and not fighting against the tide. Influenced by 90’s pop-punk, the track sees Katie Jayne Earl stepping into the limelight as lead singer.
This is the latest chapter in a continuing journey for the band. They saw immediate success with the hit single San Francisco, from its first major-label LP Waiting For The Dawn in 2013. The band quickly found themselves playing to sold-out crowds in clubs around the US, with appearances at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Firefly, Osheaga, Bottlerock and many other festivals. This was followed by guest performances on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Conan and a stint as the SXSW House band for Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live (Bravo)
The follow-up LP, 2015’s Kids in Love (which spawned the feel-good single I’m Good) saw the band explore personal relationships including their inter-band ones, and their third LP Where’d Your Weekend Go? which came in the Fall of 2016, often found the band working on songs together from their very inception – giving much of the record a relaxed and communal feeling.
Parting ways with their original label in 2017, The Mowgli’s released a pair of EPs: I Was Starting To Wonder (2018) and American Feelings (2019), each backed by national US tours and both exploring the “band experience” to a large extent. The first EP focused on traveling, missing home, looking for excitement in the daily churn of a tour, finding it in the back alleys and on the rooftops of America. The more recent EP American Feelings turned more towards relationships and connections, noticeable in Talk About It and Mr. Telephone which both harken to the lack of discourse and engagement prevalent in society today, especially with technology serving as both a facilitator and barrier.
Always with a mission to bring hope and positivity into the world, The Mowgli’s have been involved with numerous charities including The IRC, Heal The Bay, Happy Bottoms and many food banks and homeless shelters.
The band is:
- Joshua Hogan – vocals/guitar
- Katie Jayne Earl – vocals
- Matthew Di Panni – bass
- David Appelbaum – keys
- Andy Warren – drums.
The Mowgli’s are set to embark on a nationwide tour, supporting Plain White T’s and New Politics. For further info please visit the band’s Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts. We wish them the very best with the track!
