Prairie Dogs is a warning, an instruction, a scream for hope. It holds its breath through clashing chords and bursts through questioning what’s coming next.
The Holy Orders were approached a few years ago by fan and up and coming producer/engineer Nick Russell who asked if he could record them for an assessment. The band agreed and went into the studio with him to record a germ of an idea.  They were so happy with the results that when the germ evolved into Prairie Dogs, The Holy Orders got back in touch with Nick and asked him to complete the recording of the single.
Mastered by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios.

Prairie Dogs

The Holy Orders announce the release of their brand new single, the 3 minute feel good summer pop song: The New Asbestos.  Well, a cynical, pessimistic, feel good summer pop song but anyone who is already familiar with last year’s debut album – For the Ears of Dogs to Come – will expect nothing less.  It captures how the band effortlessly combines catchy melody lines with visceral guitars and passionate vocals to create a glorious noise.

Press Release:
We’re pleased to announce the signing of heavyweight Hull four-piece The Holy Orders to The Adult Teeth Recording Company with the release of their new single on 7” vinyl and digital.
‘Dedicated Follower of Fashioning Misery’ perfectly encapsulates the qualities that have made the band a mainstay of the Hull music scene. 
   Championed by Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music ("Just when you've had it with Strokes/Interpol/Editors soundalikes along come The Holy Orders and restore your faith in indie guitar music") with several plays of previous releases and a 6 Music live session. 
   The group have an enviable knack of going from strength to strength with each release, and ‘Dedicated Follower of Fashioning Misery’ is without a doubt their strongest yet.

THE HOLY ORDERS - Dedicated Follower of Fashioning Misery

The Holy Orders were first told that their amps were too loud in 2006.
Since then, the four-piece from Hull have divided the opinions of many sound engineers. The combination of strong songs, melodies, massive amounts of energy and huge dynamics has gained them a reputation as a ferocious live act.

People have said nice things about them as well:
BBC Introducing selected them as one of the bands to watch this year and have included them on their ‘Download of 2013’.
Josh T. Pearson calls them the "best thing out of Hull since the Humber bridge".

Their album ‘For The Ears Of Dogs To Come’ was recorded loud to tape and is released 14th July 2013 through Coal Shed Records.
The first single from the album 'Paper/Scissors/Stone' is out now.

Over the years they have supported various acts including Future of the Left, Josh T. Pearson, Wild Beasts, Årabrot, The Thermals, Baby Godzilla, Frank Turner and many more.

The Holy Orders continue to be loud.

"Songs that can be lyrically brutal and beautiful at the same time. Sung with a gorgeous intensity that makes it impossible to tear yourself away. Always, always performed with impeccable musicianship and incomparable style." Katy Noone, BBC Introducing.
