HAVVK – Irish Alt Rock Duo Deliver New Intense Roller Coaster Album With ‘TIME WILL KILL’
20 July 2026
Band: HAVVK
Who: Steamy punk rock duo
from Ireland. Vocalist Julie Hough and
multi-instrumentalist Matt Harris
Album: TIME WILL KILL
Their 4th.
Press info: At its core, the album taps into a powerful,
universal tension: the race against time.
Vocalist Julie Hough has battled insomnia for many years and is diagnosed with ADHD, which continues to inform HAVVK’s work, with this new album delving deeper into themes of restlessness, vulnerability, and the fragile line between exhaustion and clarity.
It captures the restless feeling that life is moving faster than we can keep up, where unfinished to-do lists, lost passions, and the urge to make a real impact all collide.
Set against a backdrop of global and national unrest, the album confronts the guilt
and conflict of pursuing personal meaning while the world feels like it’s unravelling.
The album frames meaningful relationships as both a lifeline and a quiet act
of resistance, highlighting the human drive to stay present in an unstable world.
TUTV: HAVVK alternate punked-up belters with flaming torch songs. Julie Hough‘s
gutsy vocals infuse all tracks, speedy or slow, heavy or quieter, with tenacious panache. She ventilates and challenges her mental health problems with all the force she has in
her heart and soul. It makes Time Will Kill a vociferous and intense roller coaster album.
