It feels like it’s been a while since i’ve mentioned anything guitar-pop related, so here it is making its triumphant comeback in the form of The Bank Holidays – a quartet from Australia that I discovered through a great indie-pop compilation I downloaded from Knut of Eardrums (which i’ll mention more of below). This song has been playing constantly since I initially listened to it, as it’s a surprisingly catchy – and fitting – song for the summer with its boy/girl harmonies and simple melody.
Apparently, they’ve released two EPs from 2004 and 2005, before releasing their debut As A Film on Lost & Lonesome Recording Co. last year. I highly recommend you check out these two tracks off the album below, especially “Folded In Half” – as it’s a perfect summer time song.
MP3: The Bank Holidays :: “Folded In Half”
MP3: The Bank Holidays :: “Oh Daylight”

I mentioned the indie-pop compilation that I discovered The Bank Holidays on, so here’s a little bit more information in regards to that. One of my favorite bloggers, Knut over at Eardrums, released a couple of free & legal digital Summer Compilation albums on his site. I’ve listened to it a couple of times during a few hour-long drives to and from the airport; and there are some wonderful discoveries to be had while listening to this. I highly recommend downloading both Vol. 1 & Vol. 2, because who doesn’t love free music? You would be crazy not to!
