A captivating indie rock gem that makes a serious statement about modern living.

PHWOAR (pronounced F-war), the fizzing alternative indie rock duo from Birmingham, is back with their latest single, “Reckless.” Known for their DIY sensibilities and infectious hooks, the two-piece—composed of Helena (drums, vocals) and Paul (guitar, vocals)—continues to make waves with their punchy sound. Their latest release is the second single from their highly anticipated EP, Flowers Through The Concrete, set to drop on April 11th.

Describing “Reckless” as a “cathartic and energetic alternative indie rock song about letting go and letting loose,” PHWOAR delivers a compelling anthem packed with raw emotion and high-energy instrumentation. The track fuses punk-infused guitar riffs with driving beats, crafting an electrifying soundscape that fuels its rebellious spirit.

Lyrically, “Reckless” dives into the frustration of digital dependency and the longing for real-world connections. Lines like “I’m feelin’ kinda lonely, the tech don’t work for me, but I’m starved for interaction with the friends I never see” and “I’m talking to the robots, communing with the sun, I want to break free, yeah I’m about to come undone” encapsulate the struggle of modern isolation in a hyper-connected world.

With its infectious energy and thought-provoking message, “Reckless” solidifies PHWOAR’s reputation as a must-hear act in the indie rock scene. Get ready to press play and embrace the chaos—because this track is impossible to ignore.
