LA-based band Jules & the Howl’s latest single, “Bow Down” kicks off with a burst of energy that pulls you in right away. The powerful vocals and passionate rock sound hit you hard and it’s clear from the start that this band knows how to make a statement. The song is filled with heavy guitars, solid drumming, and killer solos that add the perfect touch to an already great track. The production of this track is a collaboration between Jules and Los Angeles music producer Rev. Tom Chandler.
Jules, the lead singer, has a voice that truly stands out. It’s one of the most raw and roaring voices we’ve heard in rock music lately. She brings a sense of strength and confidence to the song and you can feel her passion in every note. Her band complements her performance perfectly, creating a rock sound that’s both gritty and polished. From the first to the last second, the energy is nonstop and the chorus is so catchy it’s hard not to sing along.
After listening to “Bow Down” we immediately checked out their other tracks on Spotify, and we have to say, their whole discography is a work of art. Their style blends modern and classic rock, making them stand out in today’s music scene. You can hear influences from legends like Janis Joplin and Freddie Mercury, but they bring their own unique twist to it.
Overall, we’re really impressed with this new single and the band as a whole. Jules & the Howl are making some of the best rock music out there right now and this single proves that. If you’re into powerful rock with raw vocals, you need to check them out. We will definitely be keeping an eye on what they do next!
ABOUT THE BAND:
Jules & the Howl is the culmination of a five-year journey. I started off my music career as a Chicago-based pop-rock solo artist under the stage name Julianne Q in 2015. As a solo artist I explored a number of different genres before finally finding my identity in blues and classic rock with a modern twist. Inspired by Janis Joplin, Freddie Mercury and Aretha Franklin, I formed the blues rock band Julianne Q & the Howl in early 2018. We played gigs all over the Chicagoland area. We were a family. A group of like-minded artists striving to create a liberating experience for our fans.
Then it all came crashing down. In October 2018, after barely five months together, all of my band members – my second family – left. Julianne Q & the Howl literally broke up the day after our EP release show. I needed a new start. So I moved to LA and decided to change my name to Jules & the Howl.
Jules is the nickname that my friends and loved ones call me. To me, nicknames are a source of warmth, trust and familiarity. That’s what I want I want my fans to feel. I want to be raw and honest and welcome you into a community. A tribe. I want you to feel a part of my community, like a wolfpack.
The Howl references Howlin’ Wolf, a Chicago Blues artist who heavily influenced the Rolling Stones. It honors my hometown and the era of music that most resonates with me: 1969, Woodstock, classic rock and roll. When I saw footage of Woodstock, it was a cathartic release of energy and emotion; a feeling of kinship within the audience. All inspired by the music. I also howl when I’m on stage. It’s how I sing. I growl. I wail. I pour out all of my emotions. The Howl is the release of everything pent up inside of me begging to be free.
I want you to experience the Howl with me. I want you to be a part of a tribe where I hope you can feel loved and accepted as you are. A member of a wolfpack. A unified release and sense of freedom so that together we can feel the power of the Howl. You + me = an even better Howl, an unstoppable awe-inspiring force of honesty. So let’s build that community together.
