Another new release on Hozac Records. This time it’s back to the more familiar 7″ single. The band are called Francis Harold and the Holograms. They hail from Bisbee, Arizona in the United States. This is another ferocious slice of punked up garage rock’n'roll. Lead song ‘Mirror of Fear’ is all about sub Stooges riffage and vocals that sound like they’re being hollered hoarsely in a dark dank cave - my only minor gripe being the song isn’t quite catchy enough to make the single stand out from the slew of garage rock singles that have been coming out lately. The B side is more of the same really, with less stooges riffage but plenty of that cave style hollering on the vocals.
Francis Harold and the Holograms are the sort of band that were designed to blow the cobwebs away. The single does just that – it’s not the strongest release on Hozac – but it’s certainly worth a few spins on your turntable.
