Emerging with a sound that spans decades and genres, HOLiDAY aligns to a resonance of anthemic artists of recent times. Romantically referenced as ‘the lovechild of Florence and The Machine and Foals’, they unapologetically merge gritty alternative rock with heartfelt indie pop. The charming combination of female and male vocals lands the band in the realm of other joint lead vocal groups alike, receiving recent praise for festival appearances as “a modern-day Fleetwood Mac with hints of The XX ” (Damian Costin, Live Nation).
HOLiDAY’s content spans lyrical war cries to humble love songs with lead vocalist Meg Hitchcock (London, UK) having one of those voices that comes along every few generations, her tone sitting somewhere between the Celtic-coral qualities of London Grammar’s Hannah Reid and pop royalty Whitney Houston. Accompanied by Jesse Higgs (Tasmania, Australia), with an evident musical upbringing, emanates anthemic and heartfelt rawness, recently referenced as “an Aussie Freddie Mercury that plays guitar like John Frusciante” (Julia Davis, New World Artists). Combined with Marcos Micozzi's (Buenos Aires, Argentina) atmospheric guitar playing, Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) meets Brian Eno like production attributes and his passion for integrating analogue and digital recording - results in HOLiDAY’s timeless yet innovative sound.
This dynamic trio from three separate corners of the globe serendipitously met and are still based in the creative vortex of Byron Bay, Northern Rivers. Currently defining their debut EP, a first glance comes via their single ‘Next Best Friend’ showcasing HOLiDAY’s self-produced talents and ambitious creativity. HOLiDAY are for fans of: London Grammar, Foals, Sam Fender, Florence and The Machine and other alternative rock staples.
