Our Take

Ohio-based musician Don Howland, formerly of the legendary band the Gibson Bros, brings his gritty, raw talent to the forefront in his latest album "Endgame." From the first track, Howland's signature rasp and intensity hit you like a ton of bricks, reminding you that rock 'n' roll is thrilling and dangerous in his capable hands.

On "Endgame," Howland doesn't hold back, delivering 10 tracks of pure, unfiltered emotion and rebellion. The album kicks off with the blistering "Ain't No Big Deal," setting the tone for what's to come. Howland's lyrics cut deep, exploring themes of love, loss, and redemption with a poetic edge that is both captivating and haunting.

The production on "Endgame" is refreshingly lo-fi, giving the album a raw, authentic feel that is missing in so much of today's overproduced music. Howland's guitar work is nothing short of masterful, with each riff and solo serving as a testament to his decades of experience in the industry.

Overall, "Endgame" is a triumphant return for Don Howland, proving that true rock 'n' roll will never die as long as there are artists like him willing to keep the flame burning. So grab a beer, turn up the volume, and let yourself be transported by the sonic onslaught that is "Endgame." Trust us, you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

Don Howland

Don Howland: The Unsung Hero of Lo-Fi Rock Don Howland may not be a household name, but to those in the know, he's a legend in the underground music scene. With a career spanning over three decades, Howland has been at the forefront of the lo-fi rock movement, influencing countless bands along the way. Hailing from Ohio, Howland first made a name for himself in the 80s with his band, The Bassholes. Their raucous live shows and raw, gritty sound quickly gained them a cult following. Howland's distinctive growling vocals and frenetic guitar playing set him apart from his peers, earning him a reputation as one of the most exciting frontmen in the business. After The Bassholes disbanded, Howland went on to form the band, The Gibson Bros., showcasing his songwriting skills and knack for crafting catchy, yet unconventional tunes. Their albums garnered critical acclaim, with Pitchfork describing them as "a raw, untamed force of nature." Despite his success, Howland has remained humble and down-to-earth, eschewing the trappings of fame in favor of staying true to his DIY roots. He continues to release music independently, recording in his home studio and self-releasing albums on his own label. With a discography that spans over 20 albums, Don Howland's influence on the lo-fi rock genre cannot be overstated. His raw, unfiltered approach to music has inspired a new generation of artists to embrace imperfection and authenticity in their work. In a world of polished, cookie-cutter pop stars, Don Howland is a refreshing reminder that sometimes, the best music comes from the underground.
