Artist Detailed Info: Howrah

Howrah (stylized H0WRAH) is an alternative guitar band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Established in 2016, the band rose from the ashes of Amsterdam indie bands such as Zoppo and Space Siren. Kees Appeldoorn is singing and pulling strings again, boosted by Space Siren's rhythm section of Ineke Duivenvoorde (drums) and Aico Turba (bass). Gijs Loots (previously in Slow Worries and Bombay) later joined Howrah on guitar.

Howrah plays edgy, melodic song-based indie rock, "a potent standoff between focussed rhythmic patterns, cosmic melodies and unchecked tidal waves of searing noise rock". Their début long player, recorded at the Next To Jaap/Katzwijm Studio in Voorhout, The Netherlands, and entitled Self-Serving Strategies was released in June 2018 on Subroutine Records. Its follow-up, Bliss, saw the light of day in June 2021, with a third album, Ends and Means, following in November 2024.
