Episode 101: Yowie

from Whatever Comes Next with Tom Osman · host Tom Osman

What is Yowie? The simple answer is that they’re an instrumental three-piece of drums and two guitars. Once you start trying to describe the music however, this is where the fun starts. My characterisation of listening to Taking Umbrage (the band’s new album, out today on SKiN GRAFT Records) is that it’s like the world has turned into Play-Doh and it’s swirling in a whirlpool that’s being fed through a meat grinder. Perhaps it’s best we turn to drummer and founding member Shawn “Defenestrator” guitarist Daniel “The Quidnunk” (who alongside guitarist Jack “Oakie Doke” currently complete the lineup) for a more sensible explanation of the band’s sound, how they construct their music and how the Yowie sound has evolved over the years. Oh, well how about that! Shawn and Daniel are right here to do just that, so let’s find out what they have to say. We also discuss the gorgeous artwork of Taking Umbrage, created by Arnulf Roedler, with the album available to buy right now from the link below. ⁠Taking Umbrage on bandcamp⁠ ⁠Yowie on facebook ⁠ ⁠Yowie on Instagram⁠ Catch Yowie on tour in Europe: Wed.22.10.25 BE BRUSSELS - Magasin 4 Thu.23.10.25 FR - LILLE Centre Culturel Libertaire Fri.24.10.25 UK LONDON - Strongroom Sat.25.10.25 FR AMIENS - Accueil froid Sun.26.10.25 FR PARIS La cantine de Belleville Mon.27.10.25 OFF Tue.28.10.25 DK COPENHAGEN - Rahuset Wed.29.10.25 DE HAMBURG - Hafenklang Thu.30.10.25 DE BERLIN - K19 Fri.31.10.25 PL GDANSK - Klub Zak Sat.1.11.25 PL WOLOW - Nowa Forma Club Sun.2.11.25 CZ PRAGUE - Cafe V Lese Mon.3.11.25 CZ České Budějovice - Žižkárna Tue.4.11.25 OFF Wed.5.11.25 CH GENEVE - La Cave Thu.6.11.25 FR LYON - Les Capucins Fri.7.11.25 FR BESANCON - Les Passagers Du Zinc Sat.8.11.25 BE KORTRIJK - Sonic City FestivalSupport the show and get bonus content ⁠at Patreon⁠ Check out my latest album ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Real Silence on Drama Recorder⁠ Podcast artwork and logo: https://www.garjk.com/ Intro music: “Detachment” by Tom Osman This is a public episode.
