Scowl vocalist Kat Moss confirms hiatus
Rock vocalist Kat Moss has confirmed that Scowl has gone on a hiatus after fans took note of their plummeting schedule and general inactivity.
The band last performed live in December 2025 and has nothing booked for 2026, despite the release of their second album, Are We All Angels, last year. They also pulled out of planned appearances at hardcore event Outbreak Festival and 2000trees, slated for later this summer
In a new interview with Good Times, the vocalist admitted that 2025 was a difficult year for the band, despite their relative success, after Moss lost a close friend to ovarian cancer in 2025.
“I really wasn’t really in my body or present, in fact, I think I had a lot of resentment at the time. I was so fucking overwhelmed I just wanted to tuck my tail and run away from everything,” Moss said.
The friend who tragically passed away was an early supporter of the band; they even helped choreograph the music video for ‘Psychic Dance Routine’.
Moss and co suffered considerable grief while promoting the latest record, sharing, “We’d be walking around somewhere in Spain, in a beautiful city with the sun shining down on my shoulders, looking at this beautiful architecture, and I’m just sobbing. Everyone would ask, ‘Are you ok?’ and I’d say, ‘Yeah, I’m OK. I just didn’t get much sleep last night.’”
She added, “I was so fucking mad. I was putting out a record, doing press every day and waking up early every morning in different hotels, and I hated it.”
Following this, their guitarist, Malachi Greene, departed the group in 2025, after struggling to balance his tattoo career with the full-time touring responsibility.
Therefore, a break between the rest of the band members seemed like the natural next step. “I’m really excited to unravel who my artistic self is. Scowl turned into a machine. It’s really fucking cool and crazy, but it’s also nice to breathe a little, too,” Moss shared.
She added, “I needed some freedom to breathe, and to process not just the loss but the treasure of it–how bizarre it all was and is.”
Moss is looking ahead at a different future: “That’s kind of where I’ve been, but now I’m in the position to try new musical avenues. I feel like a big 28-year-old toddler.”
