HOLiDAY

Alt-rock/indie-pop banger "WOA" by HOLiDAY became the lovechild of Florence + The Machine and Foals. With a dash of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, this funky/but punchy/up-tempo track is all about driving drums, big vocals and bouncy guitar riffs. Inspired by what it means to be an ‘artist’ dealing with social pressure and ultimately celebrating individualism.

HOLiDAY, the rising force in the music industry led by Meg Hitchcock, Jesse Higgs, Michael Townsend and Savannah Higgs, becoming renowned for their infectious energy and anthemic melodies, are now excited to reveal the highly awaited single "WOA." This track, co-produced by the acclaimed Adrian Breakspear, who has been nominated for a GRAMMY and ARIA Award winner (Gang Of Youths, Amy Shark), offers a glimpse into HOLiDAY's diverse musical range and captivating vocals.

Drawing comparisons to recent iconic artists, HOLiDAY has earned the endearing title of "the lovechild of Florence + The Machine and Foals," thanks to their defining sound. With a seamless fusion of gritty alternative rock, heartfelt indie pop, and the enchanting blend of female and male vocals, HOLiDAY stands out among celebrated joint lead vocal groups. Adrian Breakspear describes them as "a modern-day Fleetwood Mac with hints of The XX."

"WOA" is a funky but driving, up-tempo track that encapsulates the essence of HOLiDAY's journey thus far. The song represents the band's realisation that life is meant to be taken too seriously, but also pursue your passions. With influences ranging from Meg Hitchcock's enchanting Florence Welch vocal tone to Jesse Higgs's energetic guitar riffs reminiscent of Foals and Red Hot Chili Peppers, HOLiDAY has crafted a dreamboat of an alt-rock banger.

The writing process for "WOA" was a treasure hunt for HOLiDAY, as they pieced together elements from each member throughout 2020-2022. The song incorporates lost lyrics originally written in 2016, groovy off-beat bass lines, accidental ping pong guitar delay, and even an elusive 80s drum machine. With Adrian Breakspear's production genius and Leon Zervous' mastering expertise at Studios 301, "WOA" has become a melting pot of HOLiDAY's biggest influences.

Based in the creative vortex of Byron Bay, HOLiDAY is currently working on defining their debut Album, which promises to be sonically diverse and of deep artistic commitment from the group, as they pull together what has been referenced as a concept album by the band. As a teaser for what's to come, the band has released the captivating singles "Next Best Friend" and "Lover."

Following their success with the national 'Lover' tour, selling out venues across the country and recent standout performances at esteemed Australian festivals such as the Byron Music Festival, Great Escape Music Festival, FOTSUN, and Party In The Paddock, HOLiDAY is now preparing to embark on their first international tour. After being picked up by UK Management team Deluxxe, this August 2023, the band will captivate UK and European audiences, bringing their electrifying live performances and genre-defying music to new horizons.
