| LIGHTWEIGHT HOLIDAY |
|
Cincinnati is a special place in Middle America. Charlie Hustle's name still graces the Boulevard downtown, as if to say a hallowed place will always be reserved for the disgraced. Corporate giants General Electric and Proctor and Gamble loom over the ever graying landscape between twisted freeways, and the ghost of Doctor Johnny Fever beacons you as you cross the Brent Spence Bridge. In a town where you put up, or get knocked flat on your ass…where the homeless are tougher than the football team, you learn early that respect is earned and the future holds little for the weak of heart. Not a place that you would deem to be an artistic enclave…but something must have drifted down the river and deposited the seed of true Ohio rock and roll on the banks of this bleak outpost. The Dead Boys, The Pretenders, even his royal ghastliness Brian Warner have all drank from it's waters and gone on to immortality. Now a new chapter is about to be written by four young men whose basement forays have turned fantasy into rock hard reality. LIGHTWEIGHT HOLIDAY have emerged to snatch the crowned jewels and become the heirs to Ohio's rock throne. Polishing the gems of hits to be, Andy, Joey, Justin, and Matt have banded together to create a truly relevant sound that captures rocks past, present, and future. Sounding cohesive and authoritative, LIGHTWEIGHT HOLIDAY are paving a road that others merely hope to tread on. Drawing on influences as wide ranging as The Undertones, The Small Faces, Teenage Fanclub and Superdrag, the boys always manage to make it appear effortless and incendiary, while maintaining an aura of composure and cool you wish they sold in a neat package. Wait a minute! They do sell that package, and it'll be on your favorite record stores shelf this summer. So pour yourself a Beam and Coke, sit back…and wait for the fireworks to begin. These guys are going to trash the 'Nati and all points beyond. |

“Not since the likes of Australia’s Silver Chair, have we had a band this talented at this stage in their career. They’ve got the look, they’ve got the sound.” “A solid, unwavering pop sound that’s got the power to stick in your head.” “Should this band be famous? Definitely! Really catchy from start to finish.” “Lightweight Holiday’s first step is incredibly promising – the tight, melodic writing suggests a band with many great years ahead of them.” “Very new rock. Super produced and ready for mass duplication-Yeah!” “I have to agree that the record sounds fabulous and I’ve found myself listening to it over and over again and humming licks from it without thinking.”> “I’ve listened to it five times in five days, and now I just can’t stop. So I decided that all 12 tracks on the Cincinnati, Ohio four-pieces debut album are stellar, and there is not a stinker in the whole bunch, which is an oddity in today’s mediocre at best music industry.” “These guys are really cut above the rest….” |
