Lead singer Haniff, first met Bowers in high school where a conversation about a Stone Roses t-shirt developed into a strong bonding friendship and songwriting partnership. The addition of old friend David Barnes and newcomer Alex Roberts, completed the band. Says Roberts, “I moved to from the UK with my parents to a town south of Toronto. I started visiting the city whenever I could to watch live music. One of these nights I stumbled across Colin and Dave playing; I’d really never heard anything like it. I felt rather homesick the first few years I spent in Canada, and every part of the music Colin was writing took me home.” Barnes added, “The Holiday Crowd has inspired me to become a better musician and who better to find encouragement from than the people I love.”
Self described as minimal and stripped-down, The Holiday Crowd's sound and lyrics arise from all manner of experience- summer afternoon camaraderie’s, introspective reveries and a few shapely ‘inspirations’ along the way. The Holiday Crowd are a bunch of idealists that want what everyone wants, everything... in the most stylish, well mannered and humbling way possible.
Over The Bluffs is being simultaneously co-released on New Romantic (Canada/Worldwide) and Shelflife Records (US)
