WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT HOLY HAIL:

"A mix of rock ‘n roll, hip-hop and electronic, the band continues to challenge both genre conventions and the stereotypical male-female vocal dynamic (which has become prevalent in most indie), using their lyrics not to whisper sentiments, but to fearlessly mark their presence." Aux TV naming them one of the best new bands from NYC

"[Holy Hail] are like one of those mixed-sex, rad-fem collectives from the late-70s/early-80s UK post-punk scene, all runty grooves and righteous lyrics." the Guardian UK

"Holy Hail are intricate enough to avoid the overt, and there's a distance to the EP in its echoes, from the epic call of opener "Riverine" on through." QRO Magazine

"The group sounded very promising, combining melodies reminiscent of early Arcade Fire with a sound all their own." the New Montreal

“Riverine” stuck out to me, like a truly New Yorkian indie record, but with a hint of old west swagger." Pop Wreckoning

"Unlike say Coldplay or something who sound so perfect all the time that its like not even music, it just comes straight out of the music cyborg-mother’s womb-drive fully formed. Holy Hail doesn’t sound like that. They don’t sound slick, they sound strategic." 'Sup Magazine

WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT ((EAGLE WINGED PALACE)):

"Enter Eagle Winged Palace, the latest in a line of those following in Brian Jonestown Massacre frontman Anton Newcombe’s wandering footsteps. Leaning more on the harvest golden tint of things than Anton’s penchant for violence, Eagle Winged Palace is no less spooky."--Glorious Noise

"Reverberating harmonies of the retro-1960s sort that we love EWP for."--Radio Free Silverlake

"...ghostly, sun-kissed"--Raised on Indie

"“Timber” is constructed of acoustic guitar and fragile, haunting harmonies."--Ears Wide Open

"This video's melting film feel melts in perfectly with the song Eagle Winged Palace has delivered us. A soft fear might creep up your back, and it might also rock you to sleep. "--Indie Rock Reviews
