On 24 February 2014 the band released a compilation album, Chronicles of Gnarnia, compiled of songs from Gnarwolves first three EPs. Absolute Punk stated that "Chronicles of Gnarnia is not just a measurement of tales over time, but how genuine the band is. They don't care to play by the rules of typical pop punk as their influences stretch between emo, hardcore, folk punk and alternative pop.".

On 15 July 2014 Gnarwolves announced that their debut album would be called Gnarwolves and would be released on 15 September 2014 through Pure Noise Records with Zane Lowe featuring their new single Smoking Kills on his BBC Radio 1 show.
