On Holiday

      MEOW! vs. BARK!

     A rock/punk/pop, power-trio from Vancouver, BC, Canada, the band features the infectious melodies and progressive bass lines of Matt Rhode together with the powerful backups and aggressive guitar-playing of Conor Brandt. These two create a punk-influenced sound that is completed by hard-hitting, creative drummer Mark Carlson.
     Sharing influences ranging from classic rock like Jimi Hendrix, The Who, and Pink Floyd, to punk pioneers The Ramones and Sex Pistols, as well as more modern acts such as Nirvana, Weezer, and Deftones, the band came together in 2006 through a shared passion to craft songs that aim to get everyone to sing along at the same time as melting their faces! They quickly gained a reputation for sonically assaulting crowds with their loud and eneregtic live shows.
     In 2006, On Holiday was chosen as one of five winners in 99.3 CFOX's Vancouver Seeds contest giving them regular rotation air-play on the station. The band was voted "Best Local Band" in The Georgia Straight's Readers Poll.
     The last two years have seen On Holiday open for Billy Talent, play Warped Tour, Whistler's Crankworkx, Kelowna's Wakefest, the CFOX Seeds Showcase @ the legendary Commodore Ballroom (with Danko Jones), and many other fun and successful shows throughout British Columbia.
     On Holiday is currently working on and recording new material with the producer/engineer team of Darryl Rompf and Alex "Condor" Aligizakis (Hail the Villian). The band will also be playing more shows in the near future to further their progression and growth of an already faithful following.
