Comprised of guitarist and frontman Matt Myers, keyboard and vocalist Katie Toupin, bassist Zak Appleby, and drummer Shane Cody, Houndmouth was born in 2011. On the back of successful and immersive performances in Louisville, Kentucky and around Indiana, the band was invited to perform at the 2012 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. The show strongly aided the success of their debut, self-titled EP, following which Houndmouth were contacted by Geoff Travis of Rough Trade, who subsequently signed the band to his roster.
Later in 2012 the group was named “Band of the Week” by The Guardian, raising Houndmouth’s international reputation, before heading to the studio to record a debut full-length. In 2013 Houndmouth their debut studio album “From the Hills Below the City”, showcasing a selection of heart-on-the-sleeve, country/blues-infused, rock & roll tracks. In promotion of the record, Houndmouth performed on “Letterman”, “Conan”, and “World Cafe”, before embarking on their most ambitious tour to date including shows at Americana Music Festival, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza.
The majority of 2013 and 2014 was spent touring alongside the likes of the Wheeler Brothers, Andrew Combs, and Drive-By Truckers, regularly testing out new material. In March 2015, Houndmouth issued their sophomore studio album “Little Neon Limelight”, once again generating popular responses from the musical press.
Ripping it up across the U.S, Houndmouth strike a chord in everyone's heart that sends them into an orgasmic oblivion of country music.
Their journey began in 2011 when the band were playing a show and Geoff Travis, the head of Rough Trade was in the audience and offered a contract shortly after seeing their rendition of modern country music. The band have toured greatly since and last year released their stunning debut album 'From The Hills Below The City.'
It seems Alabama Shakes have shaken their Alabama 'shakes' onto Houndmouth, and Houndmouth may be in great debt to them for that because huge crowds come from all over to sing along with singers Matt Myers and Katie Toupin, feel the steady beat of the drums and howl to the guitar solos.
It's a fantastic sound on the record and live it's breath-taking. There's essences of Kings Of Leon later stuff and happiness that is glittered across the crowd when they perform.
