Sydney foursome The Holidays have been around the Australian music scene for a while now. I saw them open for Bluejuice earlier this year, and then again for Hungry Kids Of Hungary recently. Both times they were really enjoyable, playing a great blend of pop hooks, rhythm, and plenty tropical influences.
More than a year in the making, their debut album is finally here, titled ‘Post Paradise’. Fans of the band will have already heard a couple of the tracks, namely the excellent Golden Sky and Moonlight Hours, as well as plenty of other songs that have been played live.
Their newest single, Broken Bones, is a very infectious track that may take a few listens to get into, but once it hooks you, it doesn’t let go. It is available for free download here.
