Fusing the driving energy of the 2000s indie revival with the atmospheric textures of ’80s-alt, Holdover Holiday has officially released their latest EP, Douglass. At the center of the six-track collection is the standout single “Allie Lie,” a two-and-a-half-minute anthem that masterfully balances infectious, retro guitar hooks with a narrative of guilt and relational betrayal. Born from the real-world drama of a friend’s complicated love life, the track establishes the band’s signature “unpolished” aesthetic, prioritizing raw instrumentation and anthemic choruses over the sheen of modern studio overproduction. By blending nostalgic tones with a straightforward, punk-influenced arrangement, Holdover Holiday delivers a relatable and rhythmic exploration of deceit that feels both authentic and immediate.
