Charles Allison really started making records in 1997 on a cassette 4-track machine in a big old house he shared with his siblings. For those songs and for the many songs he would write and record in the years following, he adopted the Kil Howlie Day moniker (a reference to an unofficial schoolboy holiday in Hawai’i, one of several places the Allison family was stationed during Charles’ youth). From the very start, the Kil Howlie Day songs were infectious. Something about the timbre of Charles’ voice made them both sad and fun at once.
