holy what?

There’s a band from Toronto that I’ve been listening to a lot lately. They’re called Holy Fuck and they’ve been providing me with the ultimate soundtrack to coding, planning or simply brainstorming. If I had to lump them into a genre, it would definitely be post rock (which I’m already a fan of), since their music tends to be complex and features no lyrics. You could also say that Holy Fuck are an electronic band that uses no programming/looping/splicing. Try to make sense of that.

Strangely enough, in the current season of one of my favourite TV shows, Kenny vs Spenny, I’ve noticed that a few Holy Fuck songs have been used as background music – “Frenchy’s” from last year’s LP album seems to be used the most. Since Kenny vs Spenny is filmed in Toronto, maybe they’re friends, or perhaps friends of friends of a guy who knows this other guy in the band. At any rate, Holy Fuck have almost guaranteed themselves no airplay because of their chosen genre and, obviously, their name. Mark my words, though, you will be hearing much more of them as TV/film/commercial background music as well as on the iPods of people with good taste. 🙂
