Holloway Roberts- S/T (2007)


















In all honesty, when this band was active and this CD first came out, all i could think was 'Hot Cross'. The screamy back up vocals and some of the guitar noodling really reminded me of a mathy Philadelphia hardcore band called Hot Cross that was active in the early 2000's. Now that a few years have passed and I've listened to it with "fresh" (severely damaged) ears, the CD seems to have a lot more in common with celebrated Edmonton group Choke, with a little Drive Like Jehu lurking in the periphery. Like most young ambitious bands, they pressed way too many CD's and broke up soon after, so if you'd like a physical copy for free, contact this guy: deadmellotron@gmail.com
