A Rallying Cry in Dark Times: Dave Hause Returns with “… And The Mermaid” 

Dave Hause’s new album, “… And The Mermaid,” starts with a trumpet blare, a distorted guitar and drums. And with that, Dave Hause lets us know what this record is all about — a call to action for dark times. It’s a return to his punk rock roots and is full of songs that are a rallying cry to get us to look at what’s happening around us, to our neighbors, and fight for a world that is better than the one we find ourselves in.  

If you’re not familiar with his music, the best way I can describe it is as folk punk. Or, to put it another way, think about if The Clash met Bruce Springsteen, they formed a band, and recorded together. Born in Philadelphia and now based in California, I interviewed Hause for my podcast, Sober Dad Crew, in 2022. He had just released the introspective and largely acoustic album, “Blood Harmony.” He followed this up with “Drive It Like It’s Stolen” in 2023. While this was a little more rocking, it was still largely an album of personal songs. At the time, he told me, “I want my records to be markers of where you're at that year.” And with “… And the Mermaid,” he’s marking 2025 as the year to wake up, pay attention and take action.
