Fun fact: Googling "Holy Fuck myspace" at the Denver airport will result in a blocked page. Oh well. With the amount these guys are touring, not even internet filters will be able to keep them down. Monolith was the first time I'd been able to talk to Holy Fuck since their SXSW performance. It seems [...]
As well as watching bands at Reading and Leeds Festival this year, we spoke to some of our favourites too. Here's what Blood Red Shoes, Future Of The Left, Holy Fuck and Yeasayer had to say for themselves.~~
Having just seen both Holy Fuck and Foals at The Monolith Music Festival, I easily feel this is a much more awesome little team up than I would have believed previous to the event. Both live shows were eggsaladent! It's kinda funny seeing the various sources on the internet report this bit of news - Is it bigger news that Foals covered Holy Fuck or more interesting that Holy Fuck covered ...
The cool people at Young Turks recently pressed about 500 or so copies of a split 12" b/w Foals and Holy Fuck , with Foals taking on HF's "Super Inuit" and HF doing Foals' "Balloons." The best news used to be that you could pick up one of these super-limited splits if you caught them on tour, but now it's that Young Turks tossed up the songs onto their site for free. And not just MP3, oh no...
Maybe they cooked this one up at Monolith, where they both played. Who knows? The point is that Holy Fuck and Foals have covered each other for a split 12″ that Holy Fuck are selling on their European tour. You can grab two very high quality audio files at Young Turks' web site (seriously, they're [...]
Everything Holy Fuck does makes me fall in love with them more and more. The new video for "Lovely Allen" (one of my fave songs on their self-titled debut) is the latest reason I Heart Holy Fuck:This video looks like it was filmed inside Recombinant Media Labs in San Francisco. I'm telling you guys - you've got to check that place out: 16-point surround sound and 10 video screens surround vi...

Chad VanGaalen made an amazing kaleidescopic video for "Milkshake" by Holy Fuck. The song is off their debut full-length album, titled LP. The album will be released on October 23rd via Young Turks/Beggars Group."Milkshake":Holy Fuck LP on Beggars Group
City Sonic has posted their third Toronto music scene video conversation. In this edition Holy Fuck's Brian Borcherdt talks about the origins of the band, the Toronto music scene and their place/history in it.It's an interesting watch:Holy Fuck's websiteHoly Fuck's Myspace
It's obvious that when a bunch of punks name their band "Holy Fuck" they're not too concerned about marketability. But the name also puts you off in a different way - like you're expecting to see a bunch of young Green Day wannabes come on stage overwrought with fake suburban angst.And that's not Holy Fuck at all. The Torontonians layer electronica style keyboards on big analog bass and drum ...
I have a strange relationship with music videos. I loved them, mainly. At first, they were a novelty to be enjoyed late on Friday nights or whenever I was visiting Long Island. Once we had cable, I began consuming music videos the way I had previously consumed books, constantly, passionately, voraciously. I still remember the first time I saw "Pictures of You," "Lies" (oh, "Lies"!), even "Under...
Holy Fuck definitely wins the creativity award of the day at Street Scene on Friday afternoon. Consisting of a drummer, bassist, and two “keyboardists” (and I use that term VERY loosely), the band’s experimental sound can be best described as psychedelic electro, though they also brought in elements from other styles of music. The keyboardists [...]

Are you afraid of a branch clawing your window? Will you be frightened of a boo in the dark? Let me laugh while you shake in fear Now let´s go, to dance with the devil in the pale .
