Houndstooth Bindles plays a rambunctious type of hillbilly/folk music. Consisting of banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, bass, and drums, their music is similar to bluegrass, but stylistically drawn more from folk singers like Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan, with added punk tempos and aesthetic. The band features three song-writers and shows consist of almost entirely original songs, with a few old-timey covers thrown in for good measure. Songs are often thick with vocal harmony, and no one member of the band is the traditional frontman; instead the lead singer changes depending on the song. Houndstooth Bindles released their self-titled, debut EP in January, 2012.
