Holloway Road To Release New Single 'Where We Are Tonight'

Holloway Road appeared on the King Says Country Show (Keep it Country/Sky TV) last night to announce that their brand new single ‘Where We Are Tonight’ will be released via iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Bandcamp and other digital outlets on 23rd September 2016. The band will celebrate the launch of their single with a release party at Cargo, Hoxton on the same date.

You can get tickets for the show and pre-order the new single exclusively through BandCamp.

ABOUT HOLLOWAY ROAD

The first thing you notice about UK duo Holloway Road’s live performance is that it doesn’t look like country music; they’re more baseball caps and trainers than Stetsons and boots. But the sound they make sits somewhere between the country-pop chart and the Nashville songwriting they both grew up listening to. The second thing you notice is the crowd’s response; Holloway Road have spent the last two years playing throughout the UK & Europe, honing their live show, and as a result they understand the importance of being both a standout name on any lineup and a high energy crowd-pleaser.

They haven’t been afraid to gain momentum while learning their craft - having played the Martin stage at CMA Fest 2015, performed for the Country to Country (C2C) crowds on two consecutive years, written with Jacob Bryant (John & Jacob), partied with Kacey Musgraves, and landed both their EPs in the iTunes country top ten thanks to radio play across the UK for their single ‘Little Harder’ - success in a growing international country scene is increasingly becoming part of the Holloway Road story.

'Where We Are Tonight' marks a turning point for the band, who wanted the song to capture the feel of a live set while retaining the pop sensibilities of their previous studio offering Roots. In their own words: “We're excited to get this single out there - we want to give people a taste of what we have up our sleeves for what's next to come…”

Holloway Road Release Session Video + FREE DOWNLOAD For 'Good Thing Gone Bad'

One of Somethin' Country's favorites duos, Holloway Road, have released another single from their most recent EP, Roots (click here to read our review of the release) - this time in the form of an acoustic session video and a free song download via Soundcloud.

The release follows a summer of festivals for Jack Cooper and Robert Gulston, including appearances at Buckle & Boots, Village Green, Essex Jamboree and Leigh Folk Festival,

Filmed in and around Southend by Music Gaff, the song is notably the first "slow jam" the band have released, and since being added to the live set earlier this year has been met with a fantastic response by audiences up and down the country.

Holloway Road Surprise Fans With Set at Nashville Nights + Announce New Single

Last Friday (7th June) the crowd at the Nashville Nights club event in London were told a 'secret act' would be performing during the evening, and after a few hours of DJ Baylen Leonard playing a great mix of classics and chart hits, UK country duo Holloway Road took to the stage at 11:30pm for their second gig of the night, having just driven across town from a support slot for Jess & The Bandits.

With a stripped-back five piece setup led by acoustic guitar, the band opened with 'Truck' and played a half-hour set including songs from both their EPs and a cover of 'Ring of Fire'. The audience response was fantastic, with fans taking to Twitter & Instagram to post pictures and videos of the impromptu performance. As the lively set drew to a close, the rest of the band walked off leaving just Jack & Rob onstage, who went on to announce that the song they were finishing the set with would also be their next single - 'Good Thing Gone Bad'. Taken from the latest EP Roots, the song is the band's first "slow jam" on a record and shows a very different side to Holloway Road.

The guys spent the rest of the night meeting and taking selfies with fans and friends, and joining the dancefloor for the remainder of Baylen Leonard's DJ set.

Holloway Road play Buckle & Boots festival in Stockport on Friday 24th June. For more information on the band, check out www.hollowayroadmusic.com. The single 'Good Thing Gone Bad', including a new version & video, will be out in July.

The next Nashville Nights - "..bringing country music fans together to party to the music they love" -  takes place on Friday 5th August at Under The Bridge, London. For details and tickets, visit www.nashvillenights.uk.

ABOUT HOLLOWAY ROAD

Holloway Road are Jack Cooper and Robert Gulston, both originating from sunny Southend-On-Sea. But these aren't your ordinary Essex Boys; they're creating 'free big in your face' country-pop music. Jack and Robert, being in their mid-twenties now, have had their fair share of experience writing and playing around the world. After attending the same school and working on musical projects together in the years since, Jack and Robert's ability to write and produce stems from the idea of being able to write about being real and having a good time. Their influences include Florida Georgia Line, Kacey Musgraves, The Eagles, Mumford and Sons, and drinkin' a beer!


Along with both their self-released EPs entering the Top 10 UK iTunes Country charts, the duo have spent time in Nashville, been invited to play the Martin Guitar stage at the CMA Festival, toured with #1 hit writers John & Jacob, and performed at Country to Country Festival (C2C) at the O2 Arena in London two years in a row. And they're just getting started - with a string of UK tour dates and festival appearances on the way, Holloway Road are well on their way to imprinting their own footprint in the country community.

Review: Roots (EP) - Holloway Road

Jack Cooper and Robert Gulston, otherwise known as Holloway Road have had a busy few months with appearances across the UK, including two appearances at the always growing C2C in London, and releasing their latest single, ‘Little Harder’ and the duo have capitalised on the buzz growing around them on social media with the release of their second EP, Roots - which is available to download today. High standards were set by their first and self-titled EP which entered the Top 10 UK country album charts on iTunes but Roots exceeds these standards with slicker arrangements and tighter lyrics. 

1. Little Harder: The EP’s opener was a song that stuck out for me during the boys’ C2C performances and the same could be said for the EP as well. Upbeat, there is something about this song that feels perfect for the summer. Maybe it’s the infectious banjo or maybe it’s the ridiculously catchy chorus or maybe it’s both. Whatever it is, this pop-infused country track is a real gem.
2. All My Life: This is a song that I have a feeling will become a real fan favourite at live shows. With it’s ‘woahs’ and its defiant ‘we won’t back downs’, this song has a real anthem feel about it and I think that it may just become an anthem among the boys’ ever growing fanbase at future shows.
3. Good Thing Gone Bad: This song is a departure from the quick pace of the first two songs and it is a welcome departure, with the slow and simple guitar led track showing another side to the duo. Lyrically, this song is excellent and is a shining example of what country music should be – heartfelt and meaningful.
4. Roots: The EP’s title track delivers in an unapologetically country fashion with its fiddle and references to boots. Jack and Robert have a real penchant for crafting catchy hooks and ‘Roots’ is no different. A solid track.
5. Let Me Go: The EP starts and ends on an energetic note and left me wanting more than a mere five tracks and I have no doubt that a full length album will be on the boys’ mind, especially since this release will have fans – both new and old – demanding more. The perfect blend of country, folk and pop, this song is, again, infectious and will have fans singing along during their shows. Another fantastic track.

The boys have just finished touring with Dexeter on a successful and very received run of dates around the UK, they will be playing two more dates at the end of the month – Kelvedon Institute, Essex (24^th) and Bantock House, Wolverhampton, West Midlands (30^th). These dates will be a chance to see Jack and Robert playing a stripped back acoustic set, with songs from Roots and some new, as yet unreleased material – we recommend that you go get their EP and head along with one of the dates if you can!

Holloway Road Announce Release of New EP, Roots.

Following the release of their single 'Little Harder' and two great performances at C2C in London, UK country-pop duo Holloway Road have announced the release of their second EP - Roots.

This record finds Holloway Road going back through previous genres they've written and played over the years, fusing a little bit of everything into the tracks in one way or another. Robert & Jack locked themselves in their home studio for a couple of months, emerging with five brand new songs they wanted to hear, including their first ever 'slow jam'... ever.

In their own words: "It's the most personal record we've made to date, but it's still fun! We had some songs written, but then some (female related) things happened and we wrote new ones, which turned out to be even better material. Love can be a horrible thing but we've realised it helps make a kick-ass record! It doesn't matter if we sell 5 or 5,000 copies - we'll still be proud of it. We've made the record we wanted to make."

Roots was self-recorded; produced; mixed and mastered, and is an independent release. The EP comes out on 18th April via digital stores, but a limited first press CD will be available at their UK tour dates with Dexeter, which started this past weekend:

March 26th - The Basement York (w/ Dexeter)
March 27th - The Palomino Glasgow (w/ Dexeter)
March 28th - The Castle Manchester (w/ Dexeter)
March 31th - Hanekam Norway

April 1st - Backstage Norway
April 2nd - Duffys Leicester (w/ Dexeter)
April 3rd - The Swan Addingham (w/ Dexeter)
April 6th - Green Door Store Brighton (w/ Dexeter)
April 7th - Chaplins Bournemouth (w/ Dexeter)
April 8th - The Garage London (w/ Dexeter)
