Dave Hause is much respected American punkrock song author and singer. This is his new record which I listened and reviewed for this zine.

Besides playing in his own band The Loved Ones, he also worked as roadie for Sick Of It All and The Bouncing Souls, but his solo career is what made him respected and loved in the ears of the punkrock fans. This nice record contains 5 songs which were in the beginning thought out as a core for the new full length record, but they made it out as an e.p. The music is atmospheric, melodic acoustic punk with a lot of heart, soul and emotion thrown in. Dave˙s voice is wonderful and in combination with music gives a unique soundscape perspective. There are three new songs on the record, in my opinion Steady Now being the best of the three new ones. Also, there is an acoustic version of Shaky Jesus and the cover song by Brandi Carlile. In all, this record is great for closing your eyes and traveling into another, colourful, melodic and music world for at least 20 minutes.
