Canterbury, England’s Holy Pinto have been cranking out charming indie punk for years, honing their song-craft and sharpening their bright hooks, and it’s all led to the release of their debut full length, Congratulations, due out April 8th via Soft Speak Records.
To celebrate the release, the band are streaming the album early (listen below). Congratulations is the perfect blend of sunny melodies and darker lyrical content, listeners are immediately grabbed by the hooks but will find quite a bit to chew on in these surprisingly weighty pop songs.
Holy Pinto aren’t sitting still, they’ve already announced a hefty batch of tour dates for 2016, with the first run starting this week in the UK. Preorders for Congratulations are available now.
