Music and career

In the mid-90s, Hause played guitar in a Philadelphia-based hardcore/punk band called Step Ahead, who released one album.[1] After they broke up, Hause and Brendan Hill, the drummer from Step Ahead, formed The Curse.[2] The Curse, which featured Hause on guitar and sharing vocals, released two songs on the four-way split album The Philadelphia Sound and released a six-track EP on Hell Bent Records before playing their last show on April 12, 2003 opening for Kid Dynamite.[3] While with The Curse, he also played guitar and sang back-up vocals for Paint It Black.
