…Feed the Dogs is orgasmic.
Recorded at Ghetto Recorders, Detroit by Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Dirtbombs…), the new album feeds you with anger…
Patrick Foulhoux PUNKRAWK Mars 2008
…no hipsters, no suckers, The Holy Curse, from Paris, see their rock’n’roll going with the dogs…
Vincent Hanon ROCK&FOLK Mars 2008
… the type of good work a lot of bands would like to achieve… The Holy Curse keep on with their uncompromising yet efficient form of rock’n’roll, file between hard rock (Detroit) and wide open spaces (Australia).
Every Day is like Sunday Mai 2008
The Curse know their point and how to get it. From Sydney to Detroit, hard working men. Jim Diamond and Deniz Tek are part of the trip. A record done by electric tramps whose influence is further than their local city…
Alain Feydri Abus Dangereux 2008
The
HOLY CURSE, from now on in a tighter quartet formula, pushes their High-Energy to the max and their raw and driving impro sound is reminiscent of Southern Preachers rants, rather than the same old, same old chorus/verse tricks. Sometimes it sounds like it’s written on acid and sometimes it sounds like it’s written on speed… you decide.
THE HOLY CURSE has been produced by Deniz Tek from Radio Birdman in Sydney, Australia and by Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Dirtbombs) in Detroit, Motor City, USA.
They’ve shared the stage with Radio Birdman, The Saints, The New Christs, The Bellrays, The Flaming Sideburns, Slaughter and the Dogs, Hydromatics, The Fleshtones, Cowboys from Outerspace, Neurotic Swingers, The Hatepinks, Jerry Spider Gang and others.
Australia was right up for THE HOLY CURSE in 2005, when they toured to promote their compilation album, Wear your Fricken Seatbelt (Off the Hip Records). In the good ole US of A, they’ve played New York, Detroit and Toledo.
Their new vinyl album Feed the Dogs was released in 2008, and is available now through Believe Digital (www.believedigital.com), and from Scottish label Twenty Stone Blatt. In the USA they are released by Lumberjack Mordam (www.lumberjackmordam.com).
THE HOLY CURSE regularly plays France and Europe, they’ve toured Australia, Japan, USA and the rest of the world is waiting. In 2009...
