The lead singer of punk band The Loved Ones. In January 2011, he released his debut solo album, 'Resolutions', through Paper + Plastick records - touring extensively to promote it. A statement from the label, quoted on punknews.org, described the record's origins:
"While writing the follow-up to the last Loved Ones release (2009's Distractions, Fat Wreck Chords), Hause was writing songs that didn't seem like they would fit on a Loved Ones record.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Verse:
D Get dolled up for the reunion GA You'll be one of the girls that has aged like wine D You'll fret and fuss to get ready GA But you need to know that the years have been kind
D The nagging voice in the darkness GA It's like your so-called friend that has stayed too long D Don't let it whisper too loudly GA It threatens your nerve, it's smothers your song
Chorus: DAEmG Don't let your heavy heart drag you down G Drag you down
Verse:
D The deafening din of the static GA It's like all that they built has been falling apart D It creeps in like and informant GA It gnaws at your time and weighs on your heart
D The loneliness in the kitchen GA I know her ghosts come 'round 'cause they haunt me too D Don't second-guess your potential GA 'Cause there's a heart of gold that she left there in you
Chorus:
DAEmG Don't let your heavy heart drag you down G x2 Drag you down
Bridge:
GEmGA I know these last few years have made you feel so tired GEmGA When disenchantment swells it gets so hard to hide
Chorus:
DAEmG Don't let your heavy heart drag you down G Drag you down
