The Howling Faith are back with their brand-new single, “Fool’s Gold”, and it’s a track that instantly grabs your attention. This band has always stood out for making music that feels both creative and memorable, and this release is no different.
The instrumentation is rich and full of energy. The guitars carry that raw edge the band is known for, while the vocals come in catchy and smooth, easy to get stuck in your head after just one listen. There’s something very authentic about the way the production is handled, it doesn’t feel over-polished, but instead keeps a natural and lively sound that makes the song even more enjoyable.
What really makes the song shine is the balance between its professional songwriting and its raw delivery. You can hear the band’s passion and skills in every note, and it’s clear they know how to craft music that feels fresh yet familiar. Their mix of alternative rock with hints of surf and garage tones gives this single its own unique vibe.
We have to say, The Howling Faith continue to impress us with their ability to put out music that feels both effortless and powerful. “Fool’s Gold” is one of those songs you’ll want to play more than once, and it reminds us why this band has quickly become one of our favorites. We really love their sound, their passion, and how much fun their music is to listen to.
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.
