About
There is something magnetic, vulnerable, dangerous, and electric about Angela Perley that has been causing a lot of buzz around the artist and her band The Howlin’ Moons lately. Demure and quiet off stage, the performer usually shocks people when she tells them she is the lead singer in a band. "Putting on a show is my way of being heard, I guess,” says Perley.
Growing up in small town Ohio, Perley spent years as an observant wallflower engrossing herself in poetry, literature, people, and films. “I am a storyteller at heart, always have been. I get a lot of inspiration from relationships, surroundings, poetry, and old movies. Music for me is a way to express feelings I can’t get out any other way, and when I hit the stage with the band I can turn up and let go.”
Perley's band features longtime friends Billy Zehnal and Chris Connor on bass and lead guitar and her high school friend Steve Rupp on drums. Since their incarnation in 2009, the band has released four EPs (Black Cat, Yellow Moon, Fireside, and Nowhere is Now Here) and one album (Hey Kid) on Vital Music USA. The group's latest release and debut album, Hey Kid (Jan 2014), has been catching praise in the US and the UK from tastemakers including American Songwriter, Magnet Magazine, PopDose, Americana UK, Twang Nation and more and has been gaining steady grassroots radio play in both the US and Europe. Bob Harris of BBC Radio 2, who is well known for breaking bands into the mainstream consciousness, has played several of the band's songs on his show and has said that Hey Kid is, "a fantastic new album-one of my favorites right now." The group's explosive single, "Hurricane" was featured on ABC during the USC vs. UCLA football game in November and was the top requested song on Columbus' popular alternative station CD102.5.
Perley has earned comparisons to everyone from Joan Jett to Patsy Cline and her range of delicate reverb-laden crooners to grit-fused rock anthems have made more and more listeners take notice. The band's live shows rumble with swaggering bass lines and guitar riffs and Perley's soulful delivery and charismatic stage presence create a memorable experience for audiences eager to listen.
