Just got this cd and after the first listen I was hooked and after repeated listens it just gets better! I love the musical talent flowing out Canada lately and this Toronto band is a perfect example of why! Holes is a fantastic album from beginning to end, it has such a fresh sound that starts with the piano and unique soulful vocals from lead singer Nathan Ferraro and then layered with excellent song writing and backup from the rest of the band creates a very fresh & unqiue sound they can call all their own.

The music is very easy to listen to, personally I find it very relaxing but also with it's powerful moments that remind you they can rock out too! Without a doubt this is the type of album that both young & old alike would enjoy which is a rarity and no simple feat to pull off, not sure if this was ever the bands intention but they managed to do it. I honestly can not pick a favourite song or a few standout tracks from this cd because they are all on equal footing and are all worthy of your ears attention! I suspect that we will be seeing & hearing a lot more of this band in the future and I look very forward to it!
