"A new band we love. Bloody lush!" -Lauren Laverne, BBC 6music

Howl Griff take to the road to play two festivals this weekend - ahead of releasing a brand new single and album.

On Monday 9th July the Anglo-Welsh-American tunesmiths release new single "Fragile Diamond" a stunningly lovely exercise in three-part harmony, whose lyrics deal with gemology, geology and humanity.

"Fragile Diamond" is the title track of Howl Griff's forthcoming album, a set which showcases the band's versatility, steering from melodic rock to campfire cowboy songs to brain-seizing anthems to waltz-time boozealongs.

The band are taking those songs to the festival circuit, and next up is a double-header this weekend. On Saturday 7th July they play the sold-out Nibley Festival in the Cotswolds, and on Sunday 8th it's over to a repeat booking at the Penn Festival in Buckinghamshire.

First, a freebie: Howl Griff give fans a free-download song every month, and to make up for lost time it's three favourites from previous LP "The Hum" described by The Independent as "a soothing set of pop/folk, rock-flavoured life-affirming songs that's well worth a listen an album that'll put a spring in your step".

The three songs are the rifftastic "Bluebirds", the ska-inflected "Crash & Burn" and the beguilingly harmonic "Devotion", and they're all available for zero pence from HowlGriff.com. Download them to whet your whistle for the new album...
