Empathy Test frontman Isaac Howlett launches solo debut single 'House Of Cards'
“House of Cards” is the debut solo single from singer and songwriter Isaac Howlett, best known as the voice and driving force behind the British synth-pop band Empathy Test. The group have issued three albums, the most recent of which is “Monsters” (2020).
The single, out via the Terrifying Tiger label, confronts the brutal reality but eventual relief of escaping a toxic relationship. The single is the first taste of Howlett’s solo material.
Howlett will be performing “House of Cards” as part of the Empathy Test live set on their forthcoming 10th Anniversary European Tour in March and April 2024.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
