Howarth tells Metal Hammer: "If she wasn't in the band, it wouldn't be the same. She's got something special. She needs to be held up as the frontperson for this band because she is awesome."

However, that doesn't mean the rest of In This Moment are simply sidemen. He explains: "I don't want to downplay her role in the band - but come and see us live and you'll see we're a real band, and I know my role. I'm happy in my place and with my contribution.
