The Holidays comprise of four former Sydney Uni students who are in the search for the perfect colonial pop. The Holidays as a name apart from being fucking awesome is very in sync with their musical sound as they play happy upbeat melodic indie-pop and listening to them is a pleasure. Musically they draw influence from all over the shop including brit-pop (arctic monkeys, bloc party) , colonial cousins the strokes and many other indie/alt/garage rock bands. In Precedence of this (I'm a lawyer bitches...... not really) they sound distinctly familiar but still have their own definite sound. Their songs are full of catchy riffs and hooks and make you want to get on the dance floor. After seeing them earlier this year at the Norfolk basement they sound fucking tight live and are a blast to see!
You can catch them with Yves Klein Blue on The Immaculate Confection Tour all over Australia this October. Their playing at amplifier tonight and in Fremantle on sunday so head down and check them out as I'm sure they wont disappoint.
Also their second EP - When the the ship goes down is due out tomorrow!
You can hear all of the new EP on their myspace over here.
Overall their pretty fuckin awesome!
