Dave Hause is a singer-songwriter from Philadelphia, United States. He works in folk, folk punk, heartland rock, punk, punk rock and rock, and he is also known for his work in punk and folk-influenced songwriting.

Early work and band activity

Hause is the lead singer of The Loved Ones, a punk band associated with his early career. He is also a member of The All Brights, The Falcon, Paint It Black and The Curse. His work across these projects places him in both punk and broader rock settings.

Solo career

He releases solo material as a singer-songwriter. His debut solo album, Resolutions, appears through Paper + Plastick and follows songs he writes outside the format of The Loved Ones. The album emerges from material that does not fit a Loved Ones release, and it draws on a more singer-songwriter approach than his band work. He tours extensively in support of the record.

Style and context

Hause’s solo writing sits alongside his punk background rather than replacing it. His music is described in terms of its relationship to folk and punk traditions, with a sound that connects to both acoustic singer-songwriter material and louder rock forms.
