Contents

The band moved to London shortly after its formation and recorded its debut album with regular Coldplay producer, Ken Nelson. Following three singles, Howling Bells released their self-titled debut album Howling Bells (2006), to critical acclaim in the United Kingdom. It charted just inside the Top 100 in that country, and just outside the Top 50 in Australia. Four singles that were released from the album charted outside of the Top 100 in the UK. The band's second album Radio Wars (2009), received mixed reviews and failed to produce a charting single in any country, though the album itself charted higher than its more popular predecessor in both the UK and Australia. Howling Bells' third album The Loudest Engine (2011), was released to mostly positive reviews, but did not perform well on the charts. Their fourth album Heartstrings (2014), failed to chart in any nation.
