Australian indie rock band formed in 2004, known for lead singer Juanita Stein and albums including Howling Bells (2006), Radio Wars (2009) and The Loudest Engine (2011).

Reviews emphasize Juanita Stein's dominant vocal presence, the band's progression album-by-album toward more psychedelic and 60s-influenced sounds, and that The Loudest Engine involved Mark Stoermer (of The Killers) in production during recordings in Nevada.

Two DeBaser reviews praise Howling Bells' progression from their debut to The Loudest Engine, highlighting Juanita Stein's dominant vocals and a shift toward 60s-tinged psychedelia. Reviews note strong live performance pedigree and careful studio work. The band is framed as maturing album-by-album with a distinctive, sunlit/nocturnal duality.

For:Fans of indie/alternative rock, readers interested in vocal-led, psychedelic-tinged guitar music.

 They don't disappoint, they don't disappoint. In fact, they improve.

 I’m not a big fan of rock bands with a female vocalist, but in this case, I cannot help but declare myself personally fascinated by the result achieved by Juanita Stein and her group.
