Nathan Howells

About Me

Nathan Howells is a singer/songwriter in a crowded genre working hard to get his music heard. He draws his inspiration from his life and observations of the World around him. This has culminated in passionate songs that spill at the brim with emotion and are sung with a conviction proving that every word he sings, he believes. Nathan writes dark, confessional and optimistic lyrics about people learning how to live in a World of 'myspace' and 'itunes', about unsung heroes fighting to survive in an age ringing with apocolyptic overtones and the never-ending quest for love and meaning in the diverse lives in which we all live. When not writing, you may find Nathan catching a band at a rock show, a film at the Cinema, a sandwich at the Deli or maybe a beer at the Bar. He'll check in at a guitar store now and then to dream about the day he'll be able to buy himself the most expensive guitar there, or buy himself some new plectrums. You may even find Nathan strolling down your road one day. He likes it when strangers say Hello, so if you see him, you know what to do.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 07/02/2006
Band Members: Nathan Howells - Vocals and Guitar
Influences: Ryan Adams, Tom McRae, Bob Dylan, Oscar Wilde, Nick Cave and Jim Beam. Bakewell tarts, roasted parsnips, bonfires and conkers. Old-fashioned criminals, goals that go in off the under-side of the bar and spiderwebs with dew on them. Atlases, scrapyards and derelict buildings. Attics, canals and standing on the end of old piers. Swearing in innapropriate fucking situations and vehicles that pull over to let the emergency services pass. Staying in, going out and the Rhyming Dictionary. Writing in a brand new notebook with a brand new pen, thick elastic bands and sharp pencils. Useless information and pointless trivia, vintage T-Shirts and swimming underwater. The Wacky Races, balconies and running as fast as I can. The World Cup on TV, the moment the band walk onstage, second-hand bookshops, orange flavour jelly and the first night under a freshly washed quilt.
Sounds Like: The best unsigned singer/songwriter you've ever heard.
Type of Label: Major

OK, so we've established from my last post that I hate Postmen. A deep and primal hatred that still burns in the pit of my belly, and like the Olympic Torch, can never be extinguished. Recently I've ...

I have major issues with Royal Mail. Do you?

I have major issues with Royal Mail. Actually, my issue may only lie with my Postman, but as he is employed by Royal Mail they must surely take responsibility. A key element, indeed the key-est, if y...
