The Holidays are an Australian indie pop/soul band. Formed in Sydney in 2006, the band consists of Simon Jones, Will Magnus, Alex Kortt and Andrew Kerridge. Their debut album Post Paradise was nominated for an Australian Music Prize.
The Holidays formed in late 2006 and quickly established themselves in the Sydney music scene as an upbeat, energetic addition. Simon Jones & Will Magnus had attended high school together, previously playing in cover bands in their schools' band competition. They were often up against the band Roger Explosion in these competitions, who went on to become the Australian electro-pop band Art vs. Science.
Within their first year as a band together, The Holidays toured with Jamie T,[1] with The View,[2] with Ben Kweller,[3] and recorded an EP of demos which quickly sold out at gigs and received regular airplay on radio stations both in Australia[4] and in the USA. In November 2007 The Holidays were featured on the Next Crop segment of national youth radio station Triple J,[5] soon followed by their signing with independent Australian record label Liberation Music, in early 2008.
The Holidays released their debut EP on 19 April 2008 to positive reviews[6] which was followed by a substantial national tour to promote the release. They released their second EP "When The Ship Goes Down" in October 2008, which showed the band's natural progression with song-writing. Recorded with Wayne Connolly of The Vines and Josh Pyke fame, this EP was followed by a 20 date national tour, co-headlining with Brisbane band Yves Klein Blue.
The Holidays' debut album Post Paradise soon followed, after several months of writing and experimenting. Drawn away from the simplicity of their earlier indie guitar manifestation, Post Paradise showed the bands development with both the groove and layers of a song, combined with their recognizable pop hooks. This album differed from previous recordings by The Holidays' in that it was self-produced and recorded in various locations around Sydney and New South Wales.
"Moonlight Hours", the first single from their debut album was taken to radio in November 2009, and added to high rotation on national youth radio station Triple J. "Golden Sky" was the second single from The Holidays debut album, released in May 2010, which was followed by an east coast tour of Australia to promote the release. There is a music video for both these singles, made by Melbourne company Moop Jaw.
"Post Paradise" was released in Australia on 24 September 2010, in conjunction with third single, Broken Bones, which was added to radio nationally. The album has received very positive reviews since its release, which included amongst other reviews, being shortlisted for the Australian Music Prize and winning the Red Bull Award for Best Debut Album. Post Paradise also received "Album of the Week" in Drum Media, Beat Magazine, BMA Mag & The Brag,[7] 4.5 stars in The Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph & The Courier Mail, as well as positive reviews in The Age & The Sydney Morning Herald. Post Paradise won The Age Readers Choice Best Album of 2010,[8] and was the Triple J Feature Album for the week commencing 26 December 2010.
The Holidays toured Post Paradise substantially in 2010 and 2011, including shows at SXSW in Austin, Texas, The Great Escape Festival in Brighton, UK, and Australian festivals including Groovin' the Moo, Laneway Festival and Splendour in the Grass. The Holidays' current live show incorporates a fifth touring member, David Zucker as percussionist, as well occasional backing vocalists.
On the 8th of January, The Holidays official Facebook page posted, "We are incredibly excited to announce the release date of our sophomore record, Real Feel, will be the 21st of February 2014! To coincide with the release we will be touring this beautiful country throughout March, playing a mix of new music from the record as well as some old favourites. We have put our heart and soul's into this album so we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Have a wonderful day everyone, here's to the best year of our lives!"

There’s more than a few flashes of The Holidays of old to be found on Real Feel, but this record offers so much more than the tropical indie that summarised 2010 debut Post Paradise. A four-year break has given the band the technical skills and creative scope to write songs with kaleidoscopic vision, the sounds bouncing around the record in a floating state, pulling you up and away as you listen in and get lost.
Long Now immediately tells you that you’re about to embark on an adventure – the synths are sci-fi, while the drums and piano are straight thriller. Simon Jones’ vocals soon arrive, albeit with sonics far richer than their first record, and together it all makes for an ideal intro. All Time High stands out as single-fodder and on first listens you’re quickly taking the bait, but repeated spins show the track to be fairly shallow; Voices Drifting is way more intriguing, with layers of effects and cutting guitar combining to make you pine for the afternoon sun in your eyes.
The Phoenix-aping Japan Window again challenges the expected, with a variety of sections feeling foreign yet super-inviting, while the back-end and additional percussive elements during the final few tracks pushes through some languid moments before Morning Workout bursts in conclusive colour. Real Feel is a confident move forwards from a band that could’ve easily got lost in the indie flood, and although not defining, it definitely feels good.
