"Independent Pleasure Club" Out November 11th On Kanine Records!Click Here To Download The “Samo Son” Remix
Time Out NY - “Holy Hail is a party-starting coed dance-pop quartet…this band has a fun live show and a bunch of smart, thumping tunes to its credit.”
PitchforkMedia - “Play this when you’re getting ready to go out, even if it’s just to the grocery store.”
In between touring Europe, first with New Young Pony Club then with Bonde Do Role, and gigging in Mexico, Holy Hail made their debut album, “Independent Pleasure Club,” to be released November 11th, 2008 on Kanine Records.
Fusing pop, hip-hop, new wave, and electro with an occasional country twang, Holy Hail creates one rollicking dance party. But don’t mistake them for your average dance band: a good portion of these tracks is strewn with political undertones. The album opener tackles the Iraq war and at album close, the south’s big catastrophe Hurricane Katrina. In the middle, references are made to the environment, wire tapping, and the American-Indian genocide. It’s not heavy handed; most unsuspecting audiences dance completely unaware of the politically charged lyrical content. Mixing in tracks with more lighthearted themes like Las Vegas and NYC, Holy Hail’s always-upbeat dance-rock covers both the promises of America, as well as its sprawling dark side.
