“Crazy-catchy melodies, raging hooks, and headbang-worthy guitar riffs seal the deal” — Spin
“Low-Budget Awesome” — Entertainment Weekly
Ontario foursome Hollerado tore it up on the MIDI Fest stage last spring, and then crowdsurfed their way across China, bringing their punchy, sweaty pop-rock to Changsha, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Chengdu and Beijing.
Since returning to Canada, the boys of Hollerado have caught the attention of Jack white, who hand-picked the band to support his new band Dead Weather at a surprise show in Toronto in June. Who can blame him? These guys have cracked the magic formula of creating catchy songs that stick in your head, get people to sing along and have a good time. They package their cds in ziploc sandwich baggies with handwritten notes and extra “goodies.” You can download the album (sans Ziploc) for free at www.hollerado.com or on the Wawawa music store.
Back for another, bigger, China odyssey this December: 12 cities, 19 days, lots of beer.
