Though commonly referred to as another appendage of the "Garage Rock" empire, it would be much more appropriate to put The Bloody Hollies into the category of Bluesy Punk, if such a genre even exists. If not before, then it does now and this band is situated in the eye of this enjoyable hurricane. If one word had to be used to define their sound it would be "debauchery."
In a time when the term "rock n roll" is used as loosely as a prom dress at midnight, The BLOODY HOLLIES are back once again to remind everyone what "rock n roll" is really all about. Their unique sound is truly one that needs to be heard to understand that this isn't just another throw back 60's garage yawnfest, or moppy haired riff crazy classic rock rip off. This is original American rock music that's too smart for the main stream, but too aggressive, licentious and blood thirsty for the emo crowd. No matter what side of the social circle you sit, your primal needs will eventually get the best of you, and you'll find your self banging on your dashboard to their new album "Who to Trust, Who to Kill, Who to Love". This is the follow up release to "If Footmen Tire You" which was widely received as one of last year's best (including winning the San Diego Music Award for Rock Album of the Year). This new record is a graduation of sorts for a band that has steadily demonstrated maturity in song writing, and a firm grasp of their influences. This album is the embodiment of the no frills, off the cuff, blues punk rock that The BLOODY HOLLIES are admired for. They do what they do with skill, perfection, and flat out better than anyone else.
