Don Howland is an American underground musician best-known for his work in the punk-blues duo the Bassholes beginning in 1992. Drummer Lamont "Bim" Thomas joined the Bassholes in 1995. Prior to the Bassholes, Howland played guitar and sang with the Gibson Brothers, a Columbus, Ohio-based demented roots rock band that included Monsieur Jeffrey Evans, Dan Dow, Ellen Hoover, and later Jon Spencer and Rich Lillash.

Howland participated the Ego Summit project in 1997, which brought together longtime Columbus underground performers including Jim Shepard and Mike (Amrep) Rep, Tommy Jay (Jones) and Ron House. He has recorded for many independent labels including Matador, In the Red, Sympathy for the Record Industry, Hate Records (IT), Dead Canary, Revenant, Siltbreeze, and Columbus Discount Records. Born in Columbus, Howland has lived in Asheville, N.C. since 1998.
