Mark Howard Unleashes a Fiery Halloween Anthem with New Single, “My Girl Is On Fire”

Melbourne, Australia - Just in time for Halloween, Phillip Island based, alternative indie rocker Mark Howard unveils his electrifying new single entitled "My Girl Is On Fire." Releasing on October 31st, the track is devilishly intriguing, melding rock, blues, and alt-country driving swampy grooves, rich melodies, and Mark's signature vocals.

On first listen, "My Girl Is On Fire" sounds like an ode to a femme fatale, but Mark reveals the rather more every day inspiration: the song's roots lie in a moment of admiration for his wife, who he jokingly describes as unstoppable after she managed a whirlwind of tasks before he even got out of bed. While that song's persona is overstated, Mark's cheeky storytelling and poetic license render it a playful anthem celebrating the many facets of female strength. As he says, "It's fun to romanticise the truth."

Cut from similar cloth, in terms of style and confidence to his last two singles, both charting on AMRAP and winning awards at both the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringe Festivals, "My Girl Is On Fire" is ready to sizzle with audiences. Mark's influences run the gamut from the likes of INXS, Marlon Williams, and Nick Cave through to fans of David Gray, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen, who'll find plenty to love in his sound.

Mark's following has been taken on a musical journey across the vast country of Australia, but with plans for another single in November and a full album release in February 2025, he's just getting started. Eclectically, with possibly more and his love of the road, Mark shares his adventures with his family by his side, fuelling his endless need to connect with people and make sense of the human condition.

Get ready to heat up this Halloween with "My Girl Is on Fire," that is sure to be an instant hit among all those who fancy their musical delicacy with a bit of raw and soulful rock, with a twist.
