Ethan Miller, while still with Comets on Fire, felt the urge to pursue a more melodic sound in his music and express the influence of growing up on the Lost Coast, so he formed Howlin Rain with his former high school band-mate Ian Gradek, and drummer John Moloney. After the 2006 release of Comets on Fire's last album, he released Howlin Rain's self-titled first album, Howlin Rain with Birdman Records and began touring with Queens of the Stone Age.
Shortly after the release of their first album Moloney left the band but they picked up and later Garett Goddard, Eli Eckert, and Joel Robinow. They released their second album in 2008 and are currently touring on their own.
The current incarnation of the group features Ethan Miller, Joel Robinow and a new rhythm section composed of Cyrus Comiskey and Raj Ojha. Howlin Rain MKIII dug deep into rehearsals that have spanned 2009 - 2010.
