Gnarwolves, a British hardcore punk band from Brighton, was formed in late 2011. The group consisted of Thom Weeks on vocals and guitar, Charlie Piper on bass and vocals, and Max Weeks on drums. Their initial breakthrough came with the release of their first EP, Fun Club, in 2011, which was later reissued with additional tracks. In 2012, they released their second EP, CRU, followed by the single "Funemployed" (2013), and another EP, Adolescence (2015). Their debut album, Gnarwolves, was released in 2014. The band gained significant traction with tours supporting acts like Blink-182 and appearances at major festivals such as Reading and Leeds. In 2017, they released their second studio album, Outsiders. The group announced a hiatus in January 2018 following allegations of sexual misconduct against Max Weeks.
