HOWL. Purveyors of ‘cool’, home of the nouveau bourgeois and zeitgeist, constantly testing the boundaries. Most of that sentence is a lie.
What we actually do is scour the internet and the world around us for stuff we enjoy writing about and stuff we think you would enjoy. We aim to bring you the latest in music news, including new album releases and reviews, live music reviews and everything you need to stay plugged in. We also feature the latest fashion trends, art and photography, not to mention coverage of gigs and events from across the UK.
In October of 2011, we were approached by Vice to become part of the Vice Blogging Network. Vice Blogging Network, or VBN is ‘a collection of what, in our opinion, are the most interesting, relevant and popular independently run blogs on the planet, primarily in the spheres of fashion, art, film, music, sex and technology‘. As you probably know, if Vice aren’t writing about it, it probably isn’t worth knowing, so it was a huge honour to be asked. As a widely respected media group, we jumped at the chance to become part of the Vice Blogging Network.
Don’t worry – we’re still independent and we’ll still write about things we like. Now as a proud member of the Vice Blogging Network, we hope to bring you even more of the type of content you love. (Big thanks for Kate Newman for spotting us!)
THE GANG
HOWL wouldn’t be what it is if it weren’t for the creative talent pumping brilliance into its very core. Our diverse (mad) team is comprised of:
Shaun Mooney - Founder and Editor-in-Chief
Location: London
By day, Shaun works for a well known advertising agency, creating content for websites and social media platforms. By night, he writes about music, fashion and cats. (HE REALLY LOVES CATS OKAY).
Honor Clement-Hayes - Women’s Fashion Editor
Location: Reading/London
As a child, this girl wore a colander for a hat. An obsessive love for slightly odd fashion endures to this day. Chuck in a bit of garrulous verbosity and you have our Women’s Fashion Editor.
Ruairidh Pritchard – Men’s Fashion Editor
Location: Isle of Benbecula/Glasgow
Having completed his stint at Glasgow Caledonian University studying Journalism and serving as the university magazine’s editor for two years, Ruairidh is now a fully fledged boomerang child. Living at home in the Western Isles he writes about clothes and music until someone finally gives in and employs him.
Zofia Skrakowski - Film & TV Editor
Location: Henley-on-Thames/London
Rose Brownlow – Art & Photography Editor
Location: London
Rose ticks the boxes of recent graduate and serial intern, committing the past year to gaining valuable experience in the media industry. In her spare time she turns her attention to drawing, writing and scouting out the next big ‘arty’ thing in the capital.
Oumar S. Mussa – Contributor
Location: London
Genevieve Torabi – Contributor
Location: London
Mary Stringer – Guest Writer
Location: Reading
Mary is a guest writer for HOWL. She can usually be found up to her eyebrows in wine and exploiting her various personality defects in her blog ‘The Bastards Are Out To Kill You’.
