The Holidays

Overview

The Holidays' sound reminds me of Sunday afternoon drives with the sunset on the horizon, only the majority of the time I've listened to them it's been 4am and on my way to work. It's the kind of music that instantly makes you feel warm and alive, holding you in its jangly tones and releasing you only when you really have to get back to the real world.

Back in Brisbane after their apt afternoon slot at Laneway, The Holidays are here on their Seven Million Mornings Tour to showcase their fantastic debut LP, Post Paradise. Filled with resplendent melodies coupled with some pretty damn good lyrics, the music created by these Sydney boys will definitely leave you mesmerised. You've probably heard their three released singles (Moonlight Hours, Golden Sky and Broken Bones) on the airwaves, and unlike some other bands, every song is actually worth a listen. They've even be nominated for several prestigious awards, like the Australian Music Prize. So, do not even think about missing out when they roll into The Zoo for what is sure to be a sweet ride.
