The Holly Springs Disaster - The Home Alone

I think that it's time to give you something that will get you riled up again, and who better to do this non other then the boys in The Holly Springs Disaster. After seeing these guys for the 7th time last week all I need to say is they keep getting dirtier, tighter, and more intense. It was awesome to hear the new stuff that they have been working on and let me tell you it's still the same old Holly, sweet sing-a-longs (sounds like there is even an actual chorus in the song King Kong), awesome dynamics, similar song structures to Motion and when it came to their set structure killer like always and still feeding the kids what they want!

For anyone that has no idea what I'm talking about here's a little run down. Holly Springs Disaster are 5 dudes that come from the little Saskatchewan town of Weyburn and started to playing together after most of their past bands fell apart (Away From Here, Prevail and Short Story). From there they created this little know EP The Home Alone. From there the guys took to the road to show what they had to offer and right from the get-go they where turning heads. On this EP alone the guys had a couple of runs at Canada but always headed home to write a couple new tracks then it was right back out again. After their fifth run and a new demo My Pet Monster (and if anyone has that demo toss it my way!!!!) they were picked up by Underground Operation, who released their first real EP, Motion, Sickness, Love which I'm guessing most people have, or have at least heard of. On Motion they went back to their demo's and re-recoded a couple of songs to create the story of Motion, Sickness, Love. On this EP you can hear their first recorded version of A Nice Night For A Neck Injury, for me this is awesome to hear cause you can really see the progression of these guys if you compare the new vs the old.

So I guess for all you Holly fans here are two new tracks that you might not have heard and one that shows you where this all started. Well I hope this ties you over until their new FULL LENGTH comes out, and it shouldn't be to much longer because they start recording it April 20th, 4/20... if you know the guys you will know the significance of the date.

(Also just on a side note, if you wonder why these guys are SO tight live think of the number of times that these guys have played some of these songs. Practice makes PERFECT!)
