Known for their energetic live shows, Houndmouth has shared the stage with notable acts such as *Nathaniel Rateliff* and *Shakey Graves*. Their music seamlessly blends elements of blues, rock, and folk, creating a sound that is both timeless and modern.

Rough Trade is a multinational label that was started by Geoff Travis in 1976 as a London record-shop. It quickly grew into an independent label and distributor, collaborating with notable labels such as 4AD, Factory Records, and One Little Indian. The label's catalogue numbering system for singles/EPs included prefixes like RT### and RTT###CD for different formats. Albums were numbered sequentially as ROUGH### with extensions for different formats.In the early 1990s, Rough Trade faced financial difficulties after expanding into the US market. The US branch was shut down and the German branch ended up in the Zomba Music Group. One Little Indian provided financing and took over the label in the UK, retaining ownership of key releases like A.R. Kane albums. Geoff Travis eventually regained control of Rough Trade around 1999–2000 and re-launched it alongside Tugboat Records.

New Albany, IN's Houndmouth release 'Little Neon Limelight' on Rough Trade. The follow-up to their near perfect debut album, which saw them perform on Letterman, Conan, CBS This Morning, and tour with The Alabama Shakes, The Lumineers, and more, 'Little Neon Limelight' was recorded in Nashville with producer Dave Cobb (Sturgill Simpson). The 11 new, original songs on 'Little Neon Limelight' are the band's best to date, blending their signature four-part harmonies with the gritty foot-stomping rock swagger of their live shows and a loose confidence in the studio. Highlights of 'Little Neon Limelight' include the live fan-favourites 'By God,' 'My Cousin Greg,' and 'Say It,' and the acoustic track 'For No One' which is unlike anything else Houndmouth have ever recorded. Ann Powers called 'For No One' an "epic ballad, stuffed full of vivid imagery." On 'Gasoline,' Katie Toupin (keyboard / vocals) barbs the confessions of a perennial party girl with the specter of mortality ("Maybe I'll meet my maker on a bedroom floor"). Shane Cody (drums / vocals) leads vocals on the album's heartbreaker, 'Honey Slider,' and the group embraces their garage-rock influences on the thrilling, needle-in-the-red cut, '15 Years,' which finds Zak Appleby singing one of the album's most infectious refrains ("15 Years on the county line / Enough to make a man nearly lose his mind.")
