“The songwriting on Manic is excellent, consistently catchy and never trite. … The album is completely free of filler, and while that means that there are no restful spots following its most intense moments, the band never struggles to keep the listeners attention. Manic is a quick exercise in grungy hard rock, but it’s a successful one.”
~ Liz Ohanesian, OUTBURN
“…the band rarely shows any speed but full-blast. … It does my heart good to know that three chords and a lot of anger can still produce such pleasing sounds.”
~ Pete Freedman, DALLAS OBSERVER
“If you don’t feel your skin sink on this one, check your pulse. … For those hip to the lyrical terrain of voodoo psychobilly and goth-punk, this will be a welcome rendezvous with things that howl in the night, but for those who just want an unbridled, though contoured, rock’n’roll soundtrack — a secret weapon to unleash at boring parties — this will be ideal too.”
~ LEFT OF THE DIAL
“Here Holy Spain has created a slab of fresh, welcoming, and raw “slacker punk” on their debut, “Manic.” Simple, catchy no-holds-barred blasts of energy will have the skate parks to the grunge rockers nodding their heads in appreciation. Strong memorable melodies bounce around the stomping rhythms and charging guitar attacks to create songs listeners will be struggling to get out of their heads.”
~ Dan Goldin, EXPLODING IN SOUND
“The album is a solid piece of rock and roll, perfect for those who like their tunes quick, fast, and hard”
~ GHOST OF BLIND LEMON
“The grungy guitar work and vocal angst that give the disc its title were just the type of criteria that adolescent me lived for. Not to slight the disc at all or to insinuate in any way that their sound is outdated...”
~ SUBSERVIENT EXPERIMENT
Here Holy Spain is a skate-punk influenced indie-rock trio from Dallas, TX. Spawned from a shared appreciation of loud music, the DIY scene and cold beer. Debut album "Manic" produced by Casey Diiorio (The Crash That Took Me, Midlake) is NOW AVAILABLE (cd stores and iTunes) through Idol Records, with exclusive cover art by James O'Barr, artist/creator of The Crow.
Hey, I've got a new acoustic demo up of my song "Snapshot Chronicles" up now. Feel free to listen, comment, and if you like it tell your friends. If not, that's cool too.
