Holly Hunt


South Florida's humidity, hot weather, and constant traffic can have adverse affects on one's psyche and lead to a nagging case of lethargy. Some, on the other hand, seem to thrive in this environment despite it's ongoing right-winged ethos and conformity that keeps a portion of our community isolated from not only itself but from the rest of the country as well. So when we get something right, it usually comes out of nowhere; rolled up into a blob of fervor, passion, ire, and a fuck you attitude that the rest of the spoiled country should envy. Such is the case with the intense duo known as Holly Hunt.

Amplifier worshiping at its finest, reminiscent of bands such as Earth and the Melvins but experimenting and transcending auditory frequencies into a definite realm of their own. Having seen them evolve in their short existence has been an absolute pleasure for me as a fan, musician, and fellow friend of this two-piece ensemble of sinusoidal wave manipulation. Since they are in the process of recording, I can only provide early recordings of the band. To quote the late great Biggie, " if you don't know, now you know."
