Description: The Holiday Crowd

Wow.  Just randomly came to this song from a start exploring other songs after listening to Yoko's new song (Waiting for the Sunrise).

This ong flots me up into feeling invigoration (and...also developing a longing to do some figer painting wth Morrisey on a rainy afternoon).

go out trap

The Dough Rollers formed in 2008 when Malcolm Ford and Jack Byrne first decided to put their passion for American roots music to work by trying their hand at earnest, neo-revivalism. But, of course, after three years of touring and the addition of Josh Barocas on bass and Kyle Olson on drums, their sound evolved, loosening, snarkening, and darkening. These days, in large part to Ford's hellbent hollering, our boys occupy the sometimes salty, sometimes sweet spot smack dab in between rock and soul. They've toured with the likes of John Fogherty, Bob Dylan, and Queens of the Stone Age, which, one way or another, led them to Nashville in 2013 to record a 7'' vinyl single for our Blue Series. The result was one of the finest guitar explosions we've ever pressed on wax and a pivotal entry in their discography. Their latest effort, Gone Baby Gone, was recorded with QOTSA's Josh Homme producing, and their swampy new swagger fully realized. It's the work of band that, after all this time and effort, understands their place in the American rock scene.

First release from their forthcoming self titled album.

CheerUp

Following the debut of the record's first single "Cheer Up," Shelflife is proud to release The Holiday Crowd's self-titled full length -- the sophomore offering from the finest indie-pop band north of the border. The past few years kept the group occupied with various projects ranging from gigs like Berlin Pop Fest in 2012 and a European tour in 2013 to covering Duran Duran's 1981 track "Friends of Mine" for the charity tribute album Making Patterns Rhyme. Now, at last ready to follow up their debut Over the Bluffs, you'll soon be reminded that The Holiday Crowd is carrying on the jangle-pop torch of the eighties' premier bands better than anybody else. Their new album will be released this fall on limited clear vinyl and classic black vinyl with download code, and won't fail to both win over new fans while making longtime listeners fall only deeper in love. 

With a name like theirs, it's hardly a surprise that the band's sound invokes scenes that feel quite distant from their home city of Toronto. If anything, the quartet sound as though they'd fit perfectly side by side with The Chills, Orange Juice, The Smiths, and other groups from the United Kingdom whose influence The Holiday Crowd wear proudly. Perhaps this could be partly attributed to the fact that half of them actually hail from the same place as these influential bands; bassist Alex Roberts is from the U.K. while John Coman, the group's new drummer, calls Ireland home. As far as The Holiday Crowd's North American half, guitarist Colin Bowers has reflected that he "can't fully explain [his] love of English music," but thankfully he doesn't need to; the band's sound speaks for itself. 

The Holiday Crowd finds singer Imran Haniff embracing a cool swagger that highlights just how tight the band's songwriting is from cover to cover. Tracks like "Cheer Up" and "Of All Places" feature some of Roberts' most fun and punchy basslines to date, while "Rosy Lies"- which pays clear homage to Johnny Marr -- has some of the most memorable guitar work written on this side of the eighties. 

It's rare that a band sounds this comfortable in and in tune with its sound so early in their discography, but upon hearing The Holiday Crowd's origin story it begins to make more sense: "Lead singer Imran Haniff first met Colin Bowers in high school, where a conversation about Colin's Stone Roses t-shirt developed into a strong bonding friendship and songwriting partnership." It seems that from the very inception of the group there was a shared vision for where their sound would explore, and now, six years after the band's formation, it's paying off in the biggest of ways.

Get One

7-Up Susan…

I’d only made love once – it was less than erotic                               
I could tell you all about it – it won’t take a minute
My life was a shambles – til you walked right in it                             
Now I’m as happy as a pig in my proverbial muck                            
& I’m learning why they call you… 7-Up                                          

As we lie behind the scoreboard at Vickers Sports Club
I don’t know what I’m doing now there’s the rub
I’m all fingers & thumbs & you say that’s enough
You say you’re calling me Francois & it’s time to rebel
Be God’s perfect asshole & get us expelled – oh hell!

 Ain’t it funny what love makes you do?
I didn’t really like you when I first met you
You lied & you cheated – & you had me sedated
 I nearly went home but I’m so glad that I waited
 

I’ve got a sticky right hand from the Ambre Solaire                            
& it’s obvious I’m enjoying it though I’m getting nowhere                 
You’ve got calves only a cow could love – but hell what a pair!           
& I’m drilling a hole in the sand from the tension                               
I’m going for a spin in juvenile detention                                            

For spiking Bernice for being an unqualified bitch
For dosing her with mushrooms for being a little snitch
For telling what she saw from the side of the pitch
Whilst the cricket team were losing I was finding out why
They call you 7-Up Susan – oh my oh my – that’s a 6! (Plus 1)

Ain’t it funny what love makes you do?
I didn’t really like you when I first met you
You lied & you cheated – & you had me sedated
I nearly went home but I’m so glad that I waited
Coz it’s so funny what love makes us do
Everything I did, well I did it for you
Despite you lying & cheating & getting me thrown out of school
You taught me more than those white collar fools ever could…
