Howie's new record SOUND THE ALARM is set to hit stores September 8. It’s been close to six years since the singer-songwriter released his last album Stop All The World Now which spawned the massive # 1 hit single, “Collide” and went on to sell over 1 million copies worldwide. The album is a stunning collection of the kind of emotionally resonant, melody-minded pop-rock gems that have earned Day a legion of devoted fans over the past 10 years.

SOUND THE ALARM comes after more than a decade of touring, during which the Bangor, Maine native self-released his 2000 debut Australia and became a full time travelling musician. Howie became known for his powerful one-man shows and his penchant for live loop sampling, the strength of his songwriting, and a warm tenor voice that “soars into fluttering, high registers, but also grates with real, pleading grit,” as one critic put it. In 2003, Day released his major-label debut, Stop All The World Now, and hit the road to support it. The constant touring paid off big-time: the album was certified gold in the U.S. and spawned two Top 10 radio hits: “She Says” and the # 1 single, “Collide.” But his intense schedule took its toll on the singer-songwriter and Howie realized he needed a break. It was during this time that Howie refocused and began writing SOUND THE ALARM.

“The new album very obviously echoes my own life, in all of its highs and lows,” Day says. “Some of the songs draw inspiration from people and places I’ve observed, and then bits of my own experiences find their way in.” “This new album represents the end of one era and the start of another,” “It’s about tipping your hat to the past, living in the here and now, and looking optimistically toward the future."
