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!
This one's track no. 1 off the latest record "Devour".It gets pretty heavy in the last chorus but you can still play it as an acoustic version as well. Only the strumming changes for that last chorus. As for the Am Intro (which is the same as the Am in the verse), you gotta find a variation if you really want it to sound like the original(releasing the D string works for me). If you have other suggestions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment :-)
