Available in:
Southampton based Howards Alias came to life at the end of 1999, and after a various self released demos and gigs, released their debut album “The Chameleon Script” (2002) on Good Clean Fun Records. After touring and promoting the album relentlessly, in January 2004 the band recorded 3 songs for a split release with US band DESA, in time for their joint UK tour.
Their second full length “The Answer is Never” (2004), presented Howards Alias as more mature, taking in a huge range of influences. The album was recorded mostly live, to give an honest account of the ‘Howards Alias’ sound and to get the intimacy of the songs and band across.
Over the next 12 months the band toured hard but growing up with the grass roots ethics of bands like The Police and The Beatles, the band were also keen to record another record, so they came back to work with ‘TAIN’ engineer Peter Miles. In April 2005 the band went into the studio and emerged with their third album “Beat, Heart Beat” (2005), packed with new songs and a more progressive sound. The album was very well received by fans and press alike, the press often noting the bands very unique sound and “Howards Alias sound much more at home with British rock counterparts Biffy Clyro and Reuben than their American cousins”
The band like to put forward a message of non-violence and anti-elitism, and like to consider themselves musicians playing music together, rather than a band that has to keep playing a certain type of music in order to conform to the punk rock cliche.
The band split up in 2005, then later reformed in 2006.
