“...a meeting point between the Cure, early U2, the Pixies, and a number of other bands of similar vintage” – ALL MUSIC “The Hounds Below play a hard edged, post-punk sound that translates loud and clear to the stage” – In Your Speakers While still touring behind their 2012 full-length effort You Light Me Up In The Dark (Slimstyle Records), The band’s live set will primarily consist of brand-new material! Jason Stollsteimer (vocals/guitar) reveals “though the new material still has strong melodic hooks, it’s shaping up to be more aggressive sounding than even my work in The Von Bondies. A taste of perhaps what’s to come is on display with “Xx,” which the band released this month as a free digital track. Stream “Xx” here: http://soundcloud.com/the-hounds-below/xx In addition to Stollsteimer, The Hounds Below includes Will Shattuck (drums/vocals) Adam Michael Lee Padden (bass/vocals). Prior to this run, the group has racked up an impressive show history, sharing stages with the likes of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Airborne Toxic Event, Butch Walker, The Whigs, ASH, The Cribs, The Heavy, Band Of Skulls and many others. Musically packed with melodic rock delivered with post-punk urgency, You Light Me Up In The Dark was championed by such media tastemakers as The A.V. Club, MTV Buzzworthy, Consequence Of Sound, and American Songwriter. Matching tattoos
