Dave Hause learned to craft a memorable song in his long running Philadelphia punk/rock and roll band THE LOVED ONES. On his first solo full length record Resolutions, he takes all the catchiness of his previous efforts and brings along ALL of his musical influences as a songwriter, destroying the mold of punk singer gone solo. Dave branches out musically and moves and shakes all the preconceived notions away on Resolutions. “I feel like these are the best songs I’ve written to date,” says Hause of his solo debut. “I really had an incredible time making the record with the Empty Bottles Band (Hause’s group of friends and backing band), so it’ll be really fun to get that effort into people’s hands.”

Hause, who cut his teeth in the punk world as a member of Paint It Black and vocalist/guitarist of The Loved Ones, has recorded a rock album with no genre restrictions and limitations that draws from singer/songwriters such as Jenny Lewis and Conor Oberst. While writing the last two Loved Ones releases (2008’s Build & Burn and 2009’s Distractions), Hause recalls “the songs I was writing at the time didn’t really fit [The Loved Ones style] and seemed to be pulling in a different direction, so I figured I would see that through. When songs happen quickly and easily you just kind of have to ride the wave, and before I knew it I had a record’s worth of good tunes that don’t fully fit the Loved Ones paradigm. I think fans of my songwriting will definitely get what’s going on and will be happy to hear it.” Since Hause started playing solo shows in 2009, he has shared the stage with a variety of artists such as Bob Mould, AFI, Brian Fallon (Gaslight Anthem), Matt Skiba (Alkaline Trio), Frank Turner, Tim Barry (Avail), Jim Ward (At The Drive-In, Sparta) and Chuck Ragan.
