Hovland (band) was a Pittsburgh indie rock outfit in the mid 1990's and early 2000's. There were a couple of variations on the lineup, but the singer, guitarist, and songwriter, Corey Layman (Developer, Karl Hendricks Trio) was consistent throughout. The original lineup featured Layman and Matt Griffin (Early Day Minors) on drums. Soon bassist Ephraim Hill was added to the lineup and after a couple of cassette tape releases Matt Griffin was replaced on drums by Mark Carlisle. This lineup recorded the self-released album Affordable Fashion in 1999, and followed it up with a self-titled 7" release on Hope Records.

Although Hovland maintained a solid local following in Pittsburgh and opened for many significant touring acts of the era, the band itself suffered from a severe lack of touring and eventually split up in the early 2000's.

Layman continues to be musically active under the name Developer, plays bass in the Karl Hendricks Trio, and produces video game and television soundtracks with fellow Pittsburgh artist David Bernabo under the production name Woolslayer and Main.
