HOLIDAY GUNFIRE TO RELEASE SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM FEBRUARY 15th | PREMIERES NEW VIDEO
CORNELIUS CHAPEL RECORDS
Holiday Gunfire began in 2017 when longtime friends and seasoned Birmingham, Alabama musicians, Lester Nuby III (Verbena, Vulture Whale), Jason Hamric (Twinside), Craig Ceravolo (Great Lakes) and Michael Williams (13 Ghosts, Nowhere Squares), were enjoying an Independence Day celebration. Some celebrate with copious libations and vittles, others shoot off fireworks and sparklers, still others take to the backyard with their trusty firearm of choice. A quaint pull of the trigger of your favorite 12 gauge emits a raucous festivity of sound and exuberance — a cacophony of gun powder-fueled bliss, much like the debut offering from Holiday Gunfire.
A warm yet familiar rattle and hum of heavy bass licks with relentless trap slapping drenched in two guitars and comforting vocals, just good olβ wholesome rockβnβroll like your Momma was always scared youβd be into. Pop ethos with ample smatterings of indie fuzz andΒ Southern GothicΒ scuzz, Nuby and Hamricβs guitars create a barrage of melodies and multi-layered soundscapes while Williamsβ thunderous drums and Ceravoloβs bass form the bandβs music into perfectly digestible pop nuggetβ¦ and solos for days, I might add!

Throwing back to Fugazi-esque on βFake Itβ and reaching forward to new sonic soundscapes at the same time with the follow up βSheβs Got A Machineβ. Touching on razor sharp hooks and shoe gaze solos Holiday Gunfire is nostalgic with a brand new car smell. These 8 songs are a new beginning for some veteran South Eastern rock and rollers, fortuitous and melodic, a powerful record that seems sweet until it punches you in the face and steals your wallet, but not without a wink and smile, polished and politely unapologetic.Β Β Itβs every bit intriguing as it sounds.
Holiday Gunfire’s self-titled album willΒ be available February 15, 2019 on vinyl, CD, digital and streaming formats viaΒ Cornelius Chapel Records. Click here to pre-order.
