New to the Calgary live scene, Howells’ musical influences bleed out of them, mixing contemporary rock with ambient, electronic, and classic pop influences. Their music is marked by lyrical vocals, soaring lead guitars, and raucous drums, produced with a sparkly electronic touch ✨
Their dynamic live shows feature face melting custom light shows for each song and their signature reverse tie-dye merch line is becoming a hot commodity.

EP or LP?
EP because Spotify drives 80% of global listeners and it rewards singles and EPs over LPs *sigh*
Early bird or night owl?
HOOT HOOT
Road or studio?
Depends. Don’t know how long I could do the road, but in the studio, I could do it every day. However, having the studio without the road feels unfulfilling. Take it from someone still waiting to tour.
