DAVE HAUSE
– Fantastic solo album ‘Resolutions’ coming out on Xtra Mile Recordings –
The highly acclaimed debut solo album from The Loved Ones vocalist/guitarist Dave Hause will be released in the UK through Xtra Mile Recordings on 19th September 2011.
Recorded, produced, engineered and mixed by Pete Steinkopf (of The Bouncing Souls), Hause and a group of friends and family he compiled, dubbed The Empty Bottles Band, have created a perfectly crafted rock album with no genre restrictions and limitations that brings his talents for writing catchy songs together with influences from singer/songwriters such as Jenny Lewis and Conor Oberst.
Tracks such as the uplifting ‘C’mon Kid’ and the somber ‘Melanin’ take on a new life with the help of Hause’s backing band, while fan favourite ‘Pray For Tucson’ is an acoustic number made even more beautiful with the assistance of a pedal steel guitar.
Hause, who cut his teeth in the punk world as a former member of Paint It Black and remains the frontman and primary songwriter for The Loved Ones, will join fellow punk rock solo artists Chuck Ragan (Hot Water Music), Brian Fallon (The Gaslight Anthem) and Dan Andriano (Alkaline Trio) on the brilliantly inspiring Revival tour throughout UK and Europe.
