about
This Cape Town-based foursome is tackling the South African music industry with full force and they’re playing to win.

Patrick Skuce was a late addition to the present make-up of the band, after the departure of bassist Ruan Vermeulen. Howard Roark only played their first show less than a year ago in August 2007, which highlights just how overwhelming their immediate success has actually been. Since then, their fan base has grown significantly and continues to do so after each performance. They have opened up for some of the country’s most renowned music acts, including Taxi Violence, Lark, the Dirty Skirts and Desmond and the Tutus. Judging from their performances alone, it is without a doubt that this band is developing into one of South Africa’s premier indie rock outfits. Howard Roark is a band that believes in changing people’s
