    Biography

    Holy Moly & The Crackers are the fiery folk-rockers who have become renowned for their blazing live shows. They’ve released three studio albums that have seen their songs evolve from festival-friendly folky-stomps to something more widescreen and epic, without losing the raw, punky edge that has won them such a vocal fanbase. We know what happened in 2020 and how that stopped the live music industry in its tracks. But rather than licking their wounds, they decided to use the time to write a very different record, something that reflected where they are now. The result is Solid Gold (released 17th March 2023). Leaning into their Bob Dylan and Carole King influences, as well as the sleek beats and production of Danger Mouse, and the pounding riff-o-rama of Jack White at his most crazed, the end result is a rich but streamlined sound, with voices and rhythms to the fore, energetic and punchy (a storming mix from multiple-Grammy winner Vance Powell plays a big part in that). They have released the albums's first single, Hot Red, a seductive Americana rock-n-soul number which sums up the new groove. “Hot Red's about being addicted to the road, about moving from horizon to horizon - we focused on grooves, bass lines, finding space for the vocals to move and breathe” Solid Gold is an album that will delight old fans and win new ones, but more importantly it’s an album that lays bare a band at the peak of their powers, absolutely expressing their best and most honest selves.
