Dave Hause

Playing music rooted in American punk and rugged heartland rock, singer/songwriter Dave Hause plays tough, heartfelt music full of passion and muscle. Hause led the Philadelphia-based punk band the Loved Ones through a pair of rousing full-lengths on Fat Wreck Chords before going solo with 2011's more songwriter-oriented Resolutions. When his former band soon fizzled out, he carried on with his burgeoning solo career, combining Americana tones and socially driven lyrics with punk spirit on albums like 2017's Bury Me in Philly and 2019's Kick, both of which featured help from his musician brother Tim Hause. Working with his backing band the Mermaid, Hause continued to deliver his urgent sound on 2023's Drive It Like It's Stolen and 2025's ... And The Mermaid, and he re-imagined Loved Ones songs in acoustic form on the trilogy Versus (2024), Nurses (2025), and Hearses (2026).
