The vibrant heartbeat of LA’s music scene is struck again by the newest single from The Howling Faith, “Out Of Time”. It does not fit into a convenient genre, this is an all-female rock band with Laura Sanchez Ishida on vocals and bass, Danny Rodarte is playing the guitars and Jaime Ramirez handles the drums.
“Out Of Time” kicks off with amazing guitars and drums, setting a dynamic tone that permeates the track. Sanchez Ishida’s vocals are rich and powerful, take center stage, weaving through the intricate layers of instrumentation with effortless grace. As the song progresses, the bass-driven hooks and tribal beats inject a pulsating energy, propelling the listener on an exhilarating sonic journey.
However, what makes The Howling Faith unique is their own style of music- thus making them difficult to categorize. Mentioned in the same breath as Los Aterciopelados, Chrissie Hynde or Alex Turner; they create their own distinct soundscape. Therefore, this interesting mix informs “Out Of Time” which breaks away from mainstream offerings. The production value of this song is one highlight among many others. Each part of the song appears well designed – like catchy vocals, complicated guitar riffs and memorable drums.
Rock music fans will be served right by ‘Out Of Time’ since it proves that The Howling Faith has so much to offer in terms of style and substance. They have demonstrated that they can effortlessly weave together disparate musical influences without losing sight of who they are as artists. With their base firmly rooted in Los Angeles, this group channels all the dynamism found within it into their art resulting in a sound that spans eras.
In summary, “Out Of Time” is yet another brilliant piece from The Howling Faith which exhibits their musical prowess and adaptability. It will be remembered as a song with infectious melodies, strong vocals and perfect production. ‘Out Of Time’ shows the limitless possibilities of this band in the music industry as they continue to try and carve out their niche.
ABOUT THE BAND:
The Howling Faith is a band that likes to keep things simple: melodic guitars, fiery vocals, more than a passing nod to some of the great “college radio” and alternative guitar bands of the 80’s & 90’s, with an extra twist of surf twang thrown in because why the hell not. When asked, “What do you sound like?”, after a pause, some squirming and kicking at the dirt, founding members Laura Ishida and Danny Rodarte usually say with a shrug, “Garage-desert-surf-rock.”
We are Los Angeles natives – born and raised – which surely has a huge influence on our musical tastes and weird outlooks in general. Maybe being from L.A. also makes us yearn for the open spaces, letting our music take us there when gridlock is the rule. So ride with us, roll the windows down, and let us drag you through an old warehouse by the L.A. River on our way to the open desert. We’ll give you a tightly woven guitar-bass-drums attack, soaring vocals, distorted and twangy guitar hooks, and just the right dose of reverb to create an L.A.-meets-the-open-spaces kind of sound. The Howling Faith is Laura Ishida on lead vocals and bass, Danny Rodarte on guitar and vocals, and Jaime Ramirez on drums.
