The Hole Punch Generation's music is defined by it's raw
intensity and beauty and has been compared to bands such as
Radiohead, Arcade Fire & Sigur Ros. Each track soars and
glides across manipulated electronics, shoegaze guitar riffs
and the unique outpouring of Balthrop’s unique falsetto
vocals.

Buy the CD for only £6:

"Don’t Go” explodes, bursting into life with a
sledgehammer of shoegaze that hits you and vibrates for
forty minutes. Welcome to the world of the Hole Punch
Generation: everything thrown at you, kitchen sink first."

"Balthrop’s singing is only part of the Hole Punch
Generation’s arsenal—they take a surgical approach to
songwriting, with each track’s breathy neurosis carefully
dissecting Roxy Music’s Avalon (1982) and everything on
Type Records. If you want disheveled symphonies, you’ve
come to the right place. If you want Richard Ashcroft’s
solo career crossed with the sounds
of an interrogated unicorn, you can come in too."

“Conversations” taster single indicated, they can rip
your heart out without compromising a sound that is
inspiring, uplifting and, frankly, bloody beautiful. Fans of
everyone, from Radiohead to Eno, would be wise to track this
down."

"What we have here infact, is lush dreamy soundscapes
reminiscent at times of the likes of M83, but never losing
any form of originality. Here is music that is happy to
sooth you to sleep, here is a band that desperately should
not be overlooked."

down the bottom of xltronic..
