Hovvdy

Hovvdy (pronounced "Howdy") is a duo known for creating a nostalgic, comforting blend of indie rock, folk and pop. Based in Austin, Texas, members [a6199124] and Charlie Martin (5) met in 2014 at a baseball game and formed the band that same year. Primarily drummers at the time, the two each had material intended for solo projects, but they decided to merge as a group instead after noticing their musical compatibility. Towards the end of 2014, they released their first EP (simply titled "ep"), which was recorded in various bedrooms across their home state. Their debut album "Taster" was released in 2016, originally through Sports Day Records. The following year, they signed to Double Double Whammy, who reissued "Taster" and released Hovvdy’s second album "Cranberry" in 2018. "Heavy Lifter," their third album (released in 2019, also through Double Double Whammy), found the band expanding their slowcore-driven approach into more upbeat, folk-pop territory. After two self-released singles in 2020, Hovvdy announced their signing to Grand Jury Music in 2021. Accompanying the news was the announcement of their fourth full-length LP, "True Love."
