Holy Moly & the Crackers - Hot Red (Pink Lane
Records)
Release Date: Out Now
Ragtag bunch Holy Moly & the Crackers have managed to splice soul and rock'n'roll together brilliantly on new single 'Hot Red' and it is a real treat. Moody piano notes and an itchy, ADHD inspired beat get things going before bass notes, horns and a wailing guitar all add to the fun of the fair. The cherry on the mixed metaphor cake, however, is the stunning sound of Ruth Lyon's vocals which fit somewhere between Janis Joplin's raucous rock stylings and the more soulful end of the spectrum a la Joss Stone. There's a tour next year and I get the feeling it will be a lot of fun based on this track.
