Music and career

1995 to 2003: Early years and The Curse

In the mid-90s, Hause played guitar in a Philadelphia-based hardcore/punk band called Step Ahead, who released one album. After they broke up, Hause and Brendan Hill, the drummer from Step Ahead, formed The Curse. [1] The Curse, which featured Hause on guitar and sharing vocals, released two songs on the four-way split album The Philadelphia Sound and released a six-track EP on Hell Bent Records before playing their last show on April 12, 2003, opening for Kid Dynamite. [2] While with The Curse, he also played guitar and sang back-up vocals for Paint It Black.

2004 to 2008: The Loved Ones

In April 2004, he formed The Loved Ones with former Kid Dynamite member Michael "Spider" Cotterman and former Trial By Fire drummer Mike Sneeringer. [3] Shortly after, in July 2004, he quit Paint It Black to focus on The Loved Ones. [4]

2009 to 2012: Early solo career & Resolutions

In 2009, Hause performed solo material alongside Chuck Ragan, Tim Barry, and Jim Ward as part of Ragan's Revival Tour, a collaborative folk concert tour. [5]

Hause subsequently released his first solo music, a 7-inch single, in May 2010. [6] He released a CD single in December, 2010, followed by the January 24 release of his debut, full-length solo album, Resolutions via Paper + Plastick. [7] On 12 April 2011 a video was released for the song "Time Will Tell [8] The video pays homage to the 1967 Martin Scorsese short film The Big Shave . He was featured in The Gaslight Anthem's music video for their single "Bring It On" from their album American Slang. [9] A video for the song "C'mon Kid" was released on Sept 1st, 2011 via Rocksound.

In September, 2011, Xtra Mile Recordings licensed Resolutions and released the record in the UK and Europe and over the next two months, Hause performed across Europe with The Revival Tour, alongside Chuck Ragan, Dan Andriano of Alkaline Trio, and Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem. [10]

In 2012, Hause released a series of five 7-inch singles, each on a different label. [11] Each 7-inch features two newly recorded versions of songs from Resolutions and two covers of songs from the catalog of the label of releasing that 7-inch. [12] The first release came on Record Store Day and the last one in October, and the labels that released them were, in order, Side One Dummy Records, Jade Tree Records, Bridge Nine Records, Chunksaah Records and Sabot Productions.

2013 to 2016: Second album Devour

In early 2013, Hause was signed to Rise Records, who re-released his solo album Resolutions in March. [13] It was later announced that Rise would release his second solo album Devour , in October 2013. [14]

In December 2014 Dave Hause released his song "Seasons Greetings From Ferguson“ as a lyric video. [15] The song deals with police violence against African Americans and was written under the impact of the protests that followed the shooting of Michael Brown.

2017 to 2018: Bury Me in Philly and The Mermaid

Hause's third solo album Bury Me In Philly was released on February 3, 2017. It was recorded and produced in Philadelphia by Eric Bazilian (The Hooters) and William Wittman. [16] A few days before the official release, the album was streamed in full at several websites. [17] Described as a unification of punk and Americana [18] by Rolling Stone, the record embraced a more optimistic outlook, influenced by falling in love again, moving from Philadelphia to California and the new musical collaboration between Dave and his brother Tim Hause. [19]

Until then Dave Hause had performed his solo material solo or as a duo but for the Bury Me In Philly tour he put together a band, The Mermaid, [20] composed of Dave on vocals and guitar, Dave´s brother Tim Hause on lead guitar, Miles Bentley (Jay Bentley´s son) on bass, Kevin Conroy on drums and Kayleigh Goldsworthy on keyboard. They toured American and Europe in this configuration; their first show in Cologne on March 1, 2017, was recorded for the German TV show Rockpalast (video).

In 2018, Hause continued touring across North America and Europe. He supported Brian Fallon and The Gaslight Anthem on their respective European tours with brother Tim.

2019: Kick

In 2019, Hause released his fourth solo record, Kick. He toured the record with The Mermaid, again performing across North America and Europe. [21]

2021: Blood Harmony

Following from the success of previous album, Kick, Hause once again entered the studio to record his fifth studio album, Blood Harmony, which released on 22 October 2021.
