Brighton's Holiday Ghosts are back already. With their fifth album Coat of Arms. And they're coming back to my town and I'll see them again in less than a week.
They may will be the UK's hardest working band. They always seem to be on the road or in the studio. This is admirable dedication to the cause.
Coat of Arms finds them trying something old and something new. You could probably stretch the allusion and chuck in borrowed and blue while you're at it.
On the Rough Trade review of the record it's described as an album of resistance and protest, There's a lot to protest and resist and its good to see a band willing to do their bit.
They know what they do well. Chugging, rhythms Velvets, Modern Lovers, Stiff Records, Bo Diddley, early Sixties beat combos. There's more space towards the end of the record. They're a fine band and this is another winning album.
