"Short Takes by Tom Netherland"

Melodic rock cloaks the tunes of the Daily Howl.

Sway to the sounds of the Fairview, Tenn.-based band on Oct. 1 at Capone’s in Johnson City. Led by brother Matthew and Aaron Cates, the four-man tandem formed in 2009 largely influenced by melodies crafted by the Beatles.

From that foundation the Daily Howl includes bits of blues and garage rock. Songs such as "Done with Feelin’ Blue" suggest Stevie Ray Vaughan. Hints of Stax soul seep into "Prisoner of Love" while suggestions of pop-infused punk extends into "Music Theory." Fused with an infectious gift for melody, the Daily Howl makes sense of mixes of music. - Herald Courier

Bio

In this day in age, with dwindling album sales, crumbling record labels, and the guitar slowly becoming an instrument of the past, a truly maverick band is hard to find. But out of the hills of Tennessee comes a story so charmingly unsuspecting that its only proper fate would be to end in a glory that parallels that of the similarly unsuspecting Liverpool boys who first picked up guitars over 50 years ago.

The Daily Howl formed in 2009 in the small town of Fairview, TN, just outside of Nashville. Consisting of brothers Matthew (guitar, vocals) and Aaron (drums, vocals) Cates, Blake Burton (guitar, vocals), and Jeremy Gonzales (bass), the band developed a relentless work ethic, splitting time between the clubs of Nashville and the college town of Johnson City. Often having to play several hours a night, The Daily Howl developed an enthralling stage show, cut from the bar band cloth that so many before them have come from.

With a hefty catalog that posses the rawness of garage rock, and the melodic sensibilities of Lennon and McCartney (and with the help of an ever-growing legion of fans), The Daily Howl are slowly but surely bringing rock 'n' roll back into the limelight, and like a true Nashville band, they plan to pound, strum, and scream until that job is finished.
