Band: Holy Hail http://www.holyhail.com
Cat,
Michally (the gurrls), Kevin and Matt (the boyz) are a wonderfully
mixed bunch; together they create a sound that draws on the honky tonk,
the old school, and southern gothic and bring politically charged
lyrics to the dance party. Influenced by The Fall, New Order,
Fleetwood Mac, The Gossip, The Band, Nas, Leadbelly, June and Johnny,
spirituals, southern soul, westward expansion, easterly winds, northern
lights and gypsies.
Not shy of tackling weighty matters in their lyrics, Holy Hail are not
just a band you can jump about to (although that is highly
recommended)— they know how to start a party, but there’s more to them
than that.
