The crux of Howlaround was formed way back when Tim and Paul first crossed paths in 2005, thanks to their mutual appreciation of a particular kind of rock music that effectively rendered them lepers within the single-sex confines of Salesian College in Chadstone.Those cold winter nights (and poorly-timed summer uniforms) were made a little more bearable when the two realised they could play music to keep warm and stave off hypothermia.

Though initially a classically-trained Mark Hoppus impersonator, the teenaged Tim jumped instrumental ship to guitar after concluding that singing while strumming a six-string would really stick it to 'The Man' - also, don't frontmen usually make more money...?
Paul, however, kept true to his drumming dreams because it enabled him to hit big things really hard with sticks and make a whole lotta noise. It also helped that he was pretty good at it.

A bunch'a bassists (and even a guitarist or two when Tim was still on bass) made their way though the revolving doors of the three-piece band once called Youthanasia, then Desiderata, and finally The Shiv Merchants: gigs were played, hearts were slayed, and virtually no income or fans were made but they were trying, dammit!

Over the last year and a bit, the two ol' pals have really taken this whole music thing to task (cocaine's a helluva drug), recording some demos and performing under the Howlaround moniker as a two-piece in late 2014/early 2015, eventually stumbling upon the super-bassist Yogi mid-March of this year. Since then, the band's been sounding better than ever - Yogi's been blitzing it in rehearsals and buoying the band with his killer attitude; Paul's been giving Dave Grohl and Travis Barker a run for their money (plus he's even been waking up before 6 pm) and Tim's been a little bit nicer and hasn't studied 'Dictating 101' in weeks.

Guess everything's coming up Milhouse!
