Win Tickets To K-Holes in San Francisco!

by

K-Holes new album Dismania is, how you might say, blistering. As in the combination of sounds that screech out of your speakers when playing the album leaves blisters on the delicate surface of your ear drums. Listen long enough and these water filled beauties might just show up on your brain.

That said, their live show is supposed to exponentially crazier and because Hardly Art is good label full of good people, we’re giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets to see K-Holes in San Francisco on June 26th (that’s tomorrow kiddies) at Brick & Mortar Music Hall.

Respond in the comments with your definition of a K-Hole and I’ll pick my 3 favorites (the first wins the tickets, the second and third a copy of K-Holes album Dismania). Names will be picked tomorrow morning!

It should be a fine and thrashy show, so, er, start your engines.

The Daily Choice: K-Holes – Rats

by

I’m in a state of bleary-eyed exhaustion, have been for weeks, and K-Holes, their second album Dismania out earlier this month, sound like just the right crushing level of guitar assault to penetrate the numb orb encircling my brain. I’ve heard brilliant things from trusted sources about this bands jaw-dropping live show, and if the wash of noise that is cracking the tweeters on my speakers right now is indicative of anything I’m sold. Another solid release, from the always improving Hardly Art.

K-Holes Dismania is out now on Hardly Art.
