 UK South coasters relocating from West to East, Katja Rackin and Sam Stacpoole have been grafting and honing alone, away from the expertise of music producers and other governors since 2016. The result is unadulterated and unclean, unabashed and uncompromised.
 Through their love of artists such as The Kinks, Alex Chilton and The Nerves, or any other artist who spends less time with the polishing cloth and more time with the power shower, Holiday Ghosts make music with a lean and primitive rock ‘n’ roll spirit.
 Drums are stripped naked to the point of metronome status and no stomp boxes, nor cajóns or didgeridoos are found to obscure the energy of guitars at their rawest.
 In stories of landlords, steady jobs, wrong turns, short straws, sunny moods and city life, Kat and Sam share lead vocals alongside returning bandmate and songwriter Charlie Murphy and a host of other musicians from Falmouth, Cornwall where the band began.
 Two albums in with Punk Slime Records and Holiday Ghosts are back with their third full length, ‘North Street Air’, their first for FatCat Records. Twelve songs of love, hate and everything in between.
 For fans of White Fence, Goat Girl, Porridge Radio, Juan Wauters, Yo La Tengo, Total Control, Terry, Chubby and the Gang, Uranium Club, The Velvet Underground, Violent Femmes, Modern Lovers.
