However luckily something clicked between the two and a set of demos became the nexus which coalesced into a debut album, When the Storms Will Come which is getting music fans and critics really quite excited.
The two self-described ‘music tragics’ bonded over Neil Young, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and contemporary acts like Midlake, Band Of Horses and Grizzly Bear. However don’t expect imitation from Holy Holy who give us a unique take on transcendental, nu­-progressive power rock.
In the studio they worked with reclusive producer Matt Redlich who encouraged them to follow their instincts giving us sonorous, sublime melodies augmented by strong powerful guitars and big vocals.
Holy Holy’s live show is as exciting as the recordings, rhythmically­dense drumming from Ryan Strathie and fine bass work from Graham Ritchie add an atmosphere which will help make this outfit a festival favourite very quickly. When Storms Will Come is out now.
