The Holloways
The Holloways formed in a little place called Nambucca on Holloway Road, north London, back in November 2004. The members are: Alfie Jackson- Vocals, Guitars and Harmonica, Rob Skipper- Vocals, Guitars and Fiddle, Bryn Fowler- Bass & Backing Vocals, Dave Danger- Drums & Egg Shaker.
‘Two Left Feet’ is The Holloways’ first release on TVT Records. Produced by Langer & Winstanley (Elvis Costello, Dexy's Midnight Runners, Madness, Blur) the song (a paean to young love) is built around a typically inspired duel guitar and fiddle riff and accompanied by some lovely Dylan like harmonica. Alfie Jackson sings of being drunk and lonely and that overwhelming late night yearning for someone to bring a little joy into your life.
Having built up a huge and loyal following over the course of last year, the band released their first two singles ‘Generator’ and ‘Happiness and Penniless’ on their own label ‘Sensible Records’. Both received an incredible response: romping to victory on Radio 1 Zane Lowe’s ‘Fresh Meat’, ‘Rebel Play List’ winners on Lamacq BBC 6 Music (twice), plus two John Kennedy XFM sessions.
The Holloways' music style is very typical for the acts coming from G. Britain. If you liked the Libertines then check the Holloways too!
