Sad Tom and The Noodles

Sad Tom and The Noodles dive into life’s authentic experiences with their upbeat tunes, intertwining relatable lyrics with energetic melodies. Their fusion of indie, modern, and alt rock ensures a groovin’ sound that is both inviting and expressive. The band consists of Tom Knoll on vocals, Caleb Howes on guitar, Rob Larkin on drums, and Shiloh Taetz on bass. By staying curious about big feelings and small moments, they have created a signature story-driven identity, promising to never take themselves too seriously.

Originally dubbed “Sad Tom” for his introspective songwriting, the band humorously adopted the name “The Noodles” to embrace the juxtaposition between their heartfelt music and carefree lifestyle. If adopting a whimsical title like that of a pool noodle encourages fans to not take themselves too seriously, then the name has served its purpose.



Sad Tom and The Noodles have been making waves since the release of their debut EP “Aquaphobia” in 2020. With the success of their recent single “I Don’t Mind” released
in 2023, anticipation is high for their upcoming EP set to launch this spring.
