The Santa Cruz hardcore band performed on the April 9 episode of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, marking their first-ever TV appearance. For the performance, Scowl played ‘Tonight (I’m Afraid)’, taken off their recent sophomore album ‘Are We All Angels’.

The performance started off low and tame, digging into the song’s alt-rock sound before cranking this up for a riotous hardcore finish, backed by vocalist Kat Moss’ piercing screams.

Check out the energetic performance below.
