The Holloways - Generator

The Holloways - Generator

My last review of The Holloways had me loving what I heard so three minutes after this came through my letterbox I was hitting the play button. Thirty seconds later I was dancing around the room, two minutes 57 seconds it was on repeat for half an hour.

An infectiously upbeat track with wonderfully jingly jangly guitar hooks, an easy to pick up sing along chorus and bounce, bounce, bouncy summer sunshine salsa ska rhythm. I defy anybody to sit still while this music is playing. Smile, love life, be happy and dance till you fall over then get up and dance some more.

It's refreshing to find good british bands such as this playing great ska tracks after so long hearing rubbish american pop punksters parody version of my most loved genre and The Holloways have gained some deserved attention — currently on The Frog Tour (and managing to play the dates unlike Babyshambles...) their previous single 2 Left Feet was the highest New Entry when it hit the charts at #33 in August, this single deserves to do even better.


“I can get a record player and a generator, generate the music that makes you feel better”


Generator is released 16th October 2006 on TVT Records.

I finally got my laptop sorted and listened to the Holloways tunes I downloaded recently.

They're shit hot. This is well getting foisted upon the good paying customers of The Steamie tonight.
